Bring us your North Star

We read every submission ourselves — features, documentaries and series, from first-time filmmakers and seasoned producers alike.

Stories that will still matter in twenty years.

We are open to projects at any stage, from a single-page idea to a film in post-production. What matters most is the story, the voice — and why you are the person to tell it.

70 – 110 minutes · Any language

Docu-series

Returnable or limited non-fiction series with a strong central question, for global streaming and broadcast audiences.

No. We accept submissions directly from writers and filmmakers, with or without representation.

Yes — please send each project as a separate submission so it gets the attention it deserves.

Sometimes. We occasionally board finishing funds or executive-produce films that are close to completion. Tell us where you are and what you need.

Every submission is logged, dated and read only by our development team. We never share material outside the studio without your written permission.
