About Us

Our vision is to research, write and produce episodic podcast series that can be leveraged into derivative works, including non-scripted and scripted television series, documentaries, and film. Whether a cold case or an unexplained natural phenomenon, our curiosity and desire for truth is what drives us. Unbound by our pedigrees in traditional television and print media, we push the boundaries on first-person storytelling that invites the help and perspective of our audience.
