Capabilities

What we do for you.

01

Line Producing & Field Production

Full-service line producing for documentary and unscripted, from one-off shoots to multi-country features. We staff up production crews fast, manage budgets line by line, and deliver on broadcast spec.

  • Documentary features and series
  • Branded and commercial documentary
  • Multi-country shoots
  • Hostile-environment production
  • Broadcast-spec deliverables
02

Fixers & International Crew

A real specialty in the post-Soviet world. Russian-language access, vetted local crews in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, security and risk management, and the cultural fluency that opens the doors a foreign producer can't open alone.

  • Russia, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia
  • Russian-language production and translation
  • Local crews, gear, transport, permits
  • Risk consultation for sensitive subjects
03

Archival & Research

Deep archival research, footage and music clearance, fact-checking, and editorial counsel. We have built films from boxes of tape and from databases that don't have search interfaces. If it can be found, we'll find it.

  • Soviet, post-Soviet, and Cold-War archives
  • Footage rights, music clearance, fair-use opinion letters
  • Investigative research and source verification
04

Story Development & Post

Pitch documents, sizzles, edit-room consult, finishing. Whether you have a deck and need a film, or a 200-hour cut and need a rescue, we can come in at any stage. Our team has cut films that won Sundance Special Jury Awards and aired on HBO.

  • Treatments, sizzle reels, network pitches
  • Editorial consultation and edit-room oversight
  • Finishing, color, sound, and delivery
  • Animation and motion design
05

Branded & Commercial

Documentary-trained crews making content for brands, NGOs, and platforms. Our team has shot for Hewlett Packard, CNN Films, National Geographic, Decathlon, and Alibaba — among others — and we apply the same craft to commercial work that we do to features.

  • Brand documentaries and short-form
  • NGO and mission-driven content
  • Platform and series development for clients
06

Established co-production relationships with HBO/HBO Max, BBC Storyville, Story Syndicate, and CNN Films. We can come on a project as co-producers, executive producers, or partners — bringing access, capacity, and editorial weight.
