Independent. International. Inspired.
Earthlight is an independent production company making films that feel true, the kind of stories you couldn’t make up if you tried. We’re drawn to the moments, characters, and coincidences that only real life could invent. Sometimes they’re inspired by fact, sometimes by instinct, but always by something honest.
Welcome to Earthlight. A creative studio built for the modern film world and backed by some of the biggest in our industry. We develop and produce distinctive, character-driven stories that move audiences everywhere; films grounded in emotion, sparked by imagination, and shaped by experience.
Our work lives where artistry meets audience; think StudioCanal meets A24 after a good espresso - cinematic but human, clever without being cold.
Based in Ireland and working internationally, we handle everything from development to finance and production. We champion great writing, strong partnerships, and a working culture that values people as much as projects. We keep things personal, professional, and fun; because making films should still feel like making magic.
We’ve worked everywhere, on everything. We combine nearly sixty years of filmmaking experience.
We’ve worked with major studios and first-time filmmakers, on everything from scrappy indies to large-scale features. That experience isn’t a résumé item, it’s a toolkit. It means we know what a good story needs, what a bad day costs, and how to get from script to screen with the right people still smiling.
Development
Good stories don’t just happen, they’re built, tested, and refined. We work with writers and directors to shape ideas into films with real identity and reach. From early concept to final polish, we make sure the story, the team, and the plan are all pointing in the same direction.
