Lead With Character

Original narrative films and creative partnerships built around unforgettable characters.

Original work, made together

We develop original narrative work that begins with character, voice, and the pull of a story worth following. The goal is creative work with a distinct point of view and a human center.

We also build creative partnerships around ideas in motion, making space for the people who help a project find its shape—from first conversations through the work ahead.

Who we collaborate with

Amazon, Sony, Fox Soul, NBC, BET+

Featured project

The Vast of Night

Let's Get Critical:

Roger Ebert: You've seen it all before. But the way the story is told is new. With “The Vast of Night,” it really is about the how, not just the “what happens.” “The Vast of Night” is not just a stylistic exercise... what we get is a thickness of atmosphere and texture, a strange and eerie mood, and affection for the characters we meet.
