An Originals studio for factual television.

Four formats developed in-house and owned outright — 112.5 hours, licensed by HBO Max, Discovery and Amazon Prime Video. And the production arm that makes them, working for the broadcasters and brands who want that built for their slate. US-based, with satellite branches in Asia. In production now for RTL Germany, Maersk and InsightTV.

2026 field production

On the ground this year.

Crew mobilised from our regional bases, not flown in. Follow a location for the shoot.

01

Originals first

Four formats developed in our own room — one trademarked, six seasons on air, a seventh in production, 60+ territories. We write, finance and renew our own shows, which is exactly what makes us useful on yours. On commissioned and co-produced work, rights sit where the contract puts them.

02

We shoot where others can't afford to

Operational bases in India and the Philippines, and small-footprint crews with local fixer networks across Asia, the Gulf, North Africa and the Pacific. Five-to-six person teams delivering broadcast 4K/HDR in 45+ territories — mobilised from the region, not flown in from Europe.

03

We come with distribution attached

Our Originals are distributed globally through Off the Fence and InsightTV, and have been since 2011. Brand-funded work we produce doesn't end on your website — it goes to air.

An agency delivers you a film.
We deliver you a film and the channels it airs on.

That is not a media buy. It's editorial distribution — the difference between content nobody finds and content that lands in front of an audience already watching.

Need the shot, not the shoot?

Fifteen years of broadcast production leaves a lot of footage on the shelf. Every clip was shot by our own crews, on our own productions — cleared, royalty‑free, and licensed exclusively through Pond5. Not scraped, not aggregated.
