Slate
Our slate of TV series and features reflect our passion for stories and talent from Bristol and the South-West.
Many of our writers and artists have been identified through our own production projects over the last 10 years and we have developed a range of compelling stories and IP that covers contemporary and 20th century drama, young adult fantasy, comedy and drama-documentary.
Our projects all tell stories that are rooted in the region where we live, or are stories from the outside, with a point of view or new voice that is rarely heard.
If you are interested in finding out more please contact us, we’d love to hear from you.

THE ROAD
In the 1960s and 1970s, as the car revolutionised our lives, huge road projects cleared housing and shops in inner cities across the country. In one suburb, somewhere in western England, a family holds out against the council and wrecking ball. Through their memories and lived experience we see their world changing and their values demolished, as their community and relationships are dismantled, piece by piece.
