CatchLight Studios
Catchlight Studios is not just a production company; we are a creative force that believes in nurturing filmmakers, artists, and storytellers. We think differently, embrace entrepreneurship, and strive for a fresh approach to filmmaking rooted in creative integrity, innovation, and collaboration. We create character-driven, genre-agnostic, crowd-pleasing films and television shows that realize the filmmaker's vision within a responsible model. We are storytellers first and foremost, but we understand both the art and the business of filmmaking. We pride ourselves on multi-project relationships that are built on a foundation of trust and delivering results. Our sister production services company, Nuts & Bolts, outsources that same philosophy to assist studios, streamers and other producers with their own productions. Our goal is to empower talent, both in front of and behind the camera, to grow, invigorate their careers, and provide them with the support needed to excel in this constantly changing business. We are partners from development through the release of our projects.
