An adaptation studio for publishers
From the page
to the screen.
We develop and produce film and series from published books, with the author approving every stage, from casting to final cut.
The author’s words open the film. The author’s signature closes it.

Rights
We begin where every publisher does: with who holds the film and television rights.

Development
The book is broken down into a series bible: its story, its world, its people.

For publishers
Why work with usAuthor-approved
Casting, the look, the edit and final cut each wait for the author’s signature. Your relationship with your authors comes first.
Rights-safe
Your titles never train AI. Every source is licensed or consented. Rights revert if nothing is released.
Priced per title
One fee per title, quoted once we have read the book. No credits, no meters.
A single title →
For one book. Rights confirmed, a short agreement, then development. The author meets the characters before anything is filmed.

For a list or a backlist. We assess it with you, title by title, on sales, reviews and the scenes readers return to. We begin with one.
