Founded in 2013 by Emmy- and BAFTA-winning, Oscar-nominated producer Anna Hashmi and acclaimed director Peter Thwaites, with director and partner Sara Dunlop, the company represents a curated roster of distinctive talent—ranging from Oscar-nominated directors to exciting emerging voices with original, eclectic and authentic perspectives.
Alongside high-end advertising and branded content, our work extends into scripted and documentary development and production. We are proud to be one of the BBC’s Small Indie Funding Companies, with multiple projects currently in development.
