We believe in the power of storytelling to motivate, connect, entertain and transform

Anchor is dedicated to producing premium content with a focus on compelling, impactful, character-driven stories. In feature-length films or episodic series, our productions illuminate the strength, vulnerability, humor and hope that make our subjects and their stories so powerful, without shying away from the flaws, complexities and contradictions that make us all undeniably human.
‍
We combine an art-forward, highly crafted approach with the improvisational, sometimes-scrappy work of vérité storytelling. We are a full-service production company involved at every stage from ideation and development to packaging and production.
‍
Our small, dedicated team is committed to supporting the vision of the directors and filmmakers with whom we collaborate. We foster an inclusive, family-first work environment that reflects a wide range of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds; all supported by our firm belief that mutual respect is an integral part of any successful endeavor.
