A production company led by two emerging British creatives passionate about cinematic storytelling and professional-grade production values. Though newly established, we’re already making waves through independent projects.
Our most recent project was a book to screen adaptation of Brian Jacques' 'Jamie and the Vampires' which showcased a strong fundraising ability, a 30‑person crew, and professional-grade execution—an impressive launch for a recently graduated company.
We have also been backed and promoted by Viv Loves Film, highlighting early industry support and confidence.
