A storytelling studio producing true stories for film, television and beyond.
We develop true story IP for film, television, and other media.
We're building an independent storytelling community where the people who help create value have opportunities to share in it.
Because great storytelling requires all of us.
What We Do
ORIGINATE
We identify compelling true stories with strong characters, meaningful access and long-term potential.
DEVELOP
We shape those stories, secure the underlying rights and build the creative and business foundation they need to move forward.
PRODUCE
We bring together the people, resources and expertise required to transform promising stories into compelling media.
POSITION
We prepare projects for financing, partnerships, distribution and long-term opportunities across all media.
Each project is developed with profit participation aligned from the start.
Storytelling FOR ALL ®
There is a place for you here. Great stories don't happen alone. We are building a community that brings together the people who create stories, live them, support them and ultimately experience them.
CREATE
Filmmakers, writers, creators, journalists and other storytellers can bring stories, ideas and creative expertise.
COLLABORATE
Story sources, rights holders, advisors and industry partners can help us develop stories responsibly and bring them to life.
INVEST
Investors can participate in building an independent studio and a growing portfolio of true story IP.
DISCOVER
Audiences can follow our work, attend screenings, share feedback and help shape the community we are building.
There is more than one way to be part of a great story.
Work with STORYSMART®
We are building a carefully selected slate of projects in collaboration with creators, story sources, rights holders and other partners.
We look for compelling stories with strong characters, meaningful access and the potential to create lasting value across film, television and other media.
We don't believe every project is right for STORYSMART — or that STORYSMART is right for every project. When the fit is there, we believe in building something together.
