Documentary production at streamer standard
We produce Epic Food Journeys for National Geographic — a Webby Award winner coming soon to Disney+ — and our own original series streams on Netflix. That's the craft we bring to branded documentaries and factual series across Asia.
The streamer test
Anyone can call themselves a documentary production company. Here’s our evidence, twice over. We produce Epic Food Journeys with Mark Wiens forNational Geographic — filmed across Thailand, Pakistan, Senegal, Mexico and beyond, winner of a Webby Award in 2026, and coming soon toDisney+. And Chefs Uncut, Asia’s first chef bio series, was our own concept — developed, produced and delivered to distribution on Netflix and SBS Australia.
Around them sits a wider body of factual work across Asia: behind-the-scenes films forNetflix originals in Thailand and the Philippines, and publisher-grade series for BBC StoryWorks.
Documentaries for brands
The fastest-growing use of documentary craft is branded: real stories that carry what a brand stands for, without a sales pitch. Sustainability and ESG stories, founder and heritage films, craft and community stories, industry documentaries. The audience gets a film worth watching; the brand gets association money can’t fake.
- Branded documentaries and doc-series — for owned channels, publishers or platforms
- Original factual formats — developed with distribution in mind
- ESG and impact films — substance over greenwash
- Behind-the-scenes and companion content — as we’ve made for Netflix originals
Filming across Asia, run from Singapore
Documentary production across Asia needs local access, local fixers and cultural fluency — and a single accountable partner. We run multi-country productions from Singapore with a professional crew network across the region, from street-level Bangkok to integrated resorts in Macao.

FAQ
What is a branded documentary?
A branded documentary applies real documentary craft — genuine access, real people, honest storytelling — to a subject a brand cares about. Done well, it earns attention no ad can buy. Our benchmark is streamer standard: we created Chefs Uncut, an original documentary series that streams on Netflix and SBS Australia.
Can you produce documentaries across Asia-Pacific?
Yes — that’s our home ground. We’re based in Singapore with a professional crew network across APAC and beyond, and we’ve filmed documentary and branded series across the region for Netflix, BBC StoryWorks and National Geographic. One Singapore point of contact, multi-country capability.
How much does documentary production cost?
A single branded documentary typically starts around S$30,000; series and multi-country productions range higher. Documentary budgets are driven by access, filming days and travel more than kit — we’ll scope honestly against your story and tell you what’s achievable.
How long does a documentary take to make?
Longer than a corporate video, and worth it: typically 2–4 months for a single film depending on access and story development, longer for a series. If you have a fixed launch date (a report, an anniversary, an event), we plan backwards from it.
Have your documentaries won recognition?
Yes. Epic Food Journeys, the series we produce for National Geographic, won a Webby Award in 2026 and is coming soon to Disney+. Our original series Chefs Uncut streams on Netflix and SBS Australia, and our BBC StoryWorks work includes a Travel & Tourism 2025 Silver winner.
