Story Telling…….
We are constantly developing new ideals for short films and documentaries both independently and with production and broadcast partners. Analyse their strengths and weaknesses and assess if they have potential and how and will they appeal to audiences. Development work can often take a few years to realize it’s full potential from Concept and Idea Generation to transforming the idea into a fully realized project by crafting the story, securing funding, and assembling key creative and production elements.
Development is the crucial phase because a strong, well-developed concept lays the groundwork for every subsequent stage, from scriptwriting to production. The goal is to identify a unique, engaging story that resonates with audiences. To accomplish this we need to be constantly developing and moving the projects through this process so that the strongest float to the surface.
Over the last twenty years or so coverage of news stories and real life documentaries has been vast, crossing the front line with the Mujahideen for the fall of Kabul when the U.S. assisted the overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan. In Gaza the covered a dangerous story about female suicide bombers for National Geographic. During the NATO invasion of Kosovo however ended up in a short kidnapping situation on the way through Albania. Every country has a different story and Séamus has covered a lot of them including Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia, Serbia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Burundi, India, Kashmir, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe for magazines such as LIFE, National Geographic, People Magazine, Newsweek, TIME, Stern and Paris Match. Seamus has also worked for TV news organizations such as CNN, the BBC, APTV, ABC, MBC, NHK, Canal Plus, ITV and Channel 4 Television.

We do not take any unsolicited ideals without it first going through the correct channels.
MUSIC FEATURE FILMS & DOCUMENTARIES
When we work with artists and bands, we engage in a dialogue that is centered on their history, experiences, and unique perspective. By having these conversations, we are able to open the vaults and uncover stories, memories, and experiences that can serve as the foundation for a great film. Whether it’s an artist’s personal archives, behind-the-scenes footage, or interviews with family members and close collaborators, we are always looking for ways to tell a compelling story that resonates with audiences.
we pride ourselves on working with a large and diverse pool of talented Emmy and Oscar-winning filmmakers and producers. With decades of experience in the industry, we have established strong relationships with some of the most respected and accomplished professionals. With our background in film and documentaries, we are uniquely positioned to develop feature film documentaries on artists and bands that are popular in the music industry. We believe that these documentaries not only provide fans with an intimate look into the lives of their favorite artists, but also serve as a good potential revenue stream for the artists.
We understand that the music industry is constantly evolving and that artists need to find new ways to monetize their music and brand.

We believe that our expertise in film and documentaries, coupled with our understanding of the music industry, allows us to create high-quality feature film documentaries that resonate with audiences and provide a unique perspective on the artist’s journey.
Music feature documentaries are often deeply rooted in the artist’s past performances and life experiences. To capture these important moments, filmmakers may heavily rely on archival material, including footage from past performances and family archives.
Archival material is a critical component of music feature documentaries, as it allows filmmakers to showcase the artist’s journey and highlight the pivotal moments that have shaped their career. This may include rare footage of the artist’s early performances, backstage moments, and interviews that provide insights into their creative process and personal life.
Family archives are another valuable source of material for music feature documentaries. These archives may contain home movies, photographs, and personal recordings that offer an intimate glimpse into the artist’s life and upbringing. By incorporating these materials into the documentary, filmmakers can provide a more complete and nuanced portrait of the artist, allowing audiences to connect with them on a deeper level.
Archival material in music feature documentaries is a life blood that needs to run throughout the production and working closely with our clients to identify and access these valuable resources in the preproduction process is valuable. We have experience working with a wide range of archival material and understand the challenges involved in obtaining and licensing these materials into the final production.
By incorporating archival material into our productions, we strive to create compelling and engaging music feature documentaries that resonate with audiences and offer a unique insight into the artist’s life and career.
Distribution. Whether it’s a music feature documentary or a short promotional video, we work closely with our clients to develop a distribution strategy that meets their specific needs and goals.
