Production Company Profile
At Midwinter, we are always looking to collaborate with other production companies. We produce scripted content for young adult/family and adult audiences across television and feature films. We are looking for fresh, diverse, engaging, smart comedies, dramas and mysteries that will connect to local and international audiences. We are interested in voices with something to say, strong visions and stories with infectious energy. We are interested in developing work based on existing IP (books, podcasts etc). We develop stories that have heart, humour and an undeniable appeal to audience. We are interested in meeting with creatives and production companies who may be looking to collaborate.
