MARKET ROAD
[ FILMS ]
We are a full-service production company. In addition to our character-driven, long-form work, we have created music videos, commercials, museum installations and projections for downtown and Broadway theatre.
SCRIPTED
The role of the storyteller is to keep their eyes open, while everyone else’s are shut. We are cultural watchdogs. We stand at attention, observing and reflecting. We excavate, uncover, interpret and unravel. We look inward and then outward to find ways to better understand ourselves. We are protectors of tradition and shapers of new ones. We are recyclers, innovators and ultimately…entertainers.
Documentary
From Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor in the Hindu Kush, to the verdant Rwenzori Mountains in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Ellesmere Island in the Canadian High Arctic, we have lived and labored in what is left of the Earth’s stunning, pristine wilderness. This gift has made it possible for us to imagine a planet before the birth of cities, a gift that comes with a heavy burden: we know what it is that we stand to lose. We are compelled by the untraveled road, forgotten histories and folks absented from collective memory.
PERFORMANCE & ART
The artist by trade is a risk taker, intrepid, fearless explorers venturing into uncomfortable zones to unearth difficult truths. We can not be afraid to be honest, to look at real human emotion and to endeavor to come to terms with its contradictions and flaws. We believe in the lyrical, the magical, and the alchemical powers of art and performance.
BRANDED CONTENT
We must be disrupters, even if our gestures are gentle pebbles tossed into the standing water. We bring our unique visual style and storytelling powers to our work with singular brands and corporate partners.
PODCAST
We all savor the first time we stumble upon language and ideas that invite us into the space of another and expand our notion of ourselves. Our creative mission is to bring evocative, character-driven storytelling to unusual and otherwise untold stories. Podcasts are a new and exciting form to us, presenting infinite possibilities for deep and nuanced first-hand reporting and untaped archive.
