What we do
From idea to screen, under one roof
Development & Writing
We turn an idea into a project ready to shoot: field and archival research, treatment and script, and a production package that convinces broadcasters and funds.
Details →Production & Directing
We direct, produce and line-produce with lean, fast-moving crews, and go wherever the story is.
Details →Post-Production
Editing that builds the story, colour grading, sound design and mix, and motion graphics, through to broadcast-ready delivery.
Details →Podcasts & Programmes
We write and direct research-led programmes and podcasts, from directing At Nuny's Home to writing for shows such as El Da7ee7 and Fi El Hadara.
Details →How we work
Four stages, no surprises
Listening
We start with a long session: what is the story, who is it for, and why now? Not a line gets written before we know.
Research
Field and archival research, source verification, and a written treatment that fixes the narrative and visual form.
Shooting
Small crews, long time in the field, real trust with the characters. Good documentary needs patience more than gear.
Cut & Delivery
Editing with clear review rounds, then sound and colour, and delivery of a finished film to the broadcaster's specifications.
