OUR SCOPE IS INTERNATIONAL
OUR CONCERNS ARE UNIVERSAL
Market Road Films is a New York-based, independent production company founded in 2003 by 2-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage and PGA and Emmy Award-winning film director, Tony Gerber. The company’s mission is to bring evocative, visual and character-driven storytelling to unusual and otherwise untold stories. We work in both fiction, non-fiction, installation and podcast.
Market Road Films is a minority and female-owned business, committed to inclusivity and diversity in both the stories we tell and the people we work with. Whether flying with bush pilots into war-torn regions of the Congo, embedding with Kurdish police fighting ISIS in northern Iraq, or traveling with former First Lady Michelle Obama to profile inspiring young women in Africa, Market Road Films will go anywhere to find stories that resonate across the globe.
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.
