We’re interested in people, specifically, their individual stories, and how human stories can explain and explore complicated issues. Stories that motivate people to be part of a cause or build a community. Stories in over a dozen languages. We tell stories through TV shows, web sites, films, commercials, podcasts and motion graphics. Our stories can go from a book to a screen or the other way around.
We’ve told award-winning stories for clients and sponsors including the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Redford Center at the Sundance Preserve, PBS, Discovery Networks, UT System, and the Center for American History. You might have seen our stories on network and cable television, caught them at a movie theater or film festival, watched them online, or read about them in the New York Times. Our stories have won awards — Emmys, Hugos and Tellys to name just a few — and even earned us Knighthood status.
We are equally at home on three kinds of projects.
1) We produce, write, and direct our own, original award-winning films.
2) We do full-service production for clients — projects such as company stories, commercials, PSAs, Web series, sponsored documentaries, graphics and podcasts.
3) We offer production support for producers, directors and studios.
Our open and collaborative style of production makes collaborations easy and rewarding. We serve as an artistic haven for institutions, companies, agencies, producers and directors that need creative partners to help bring their vision to life.
We don't make a lot of noise, but our work still manages to generate its own buzz. Read what people are saying about our projects.

In Greek mythology, the Alpheus River was said to run underground, connecting the world through secret tunnels. As the story evolved, it was believed that you could communicate with other places on the earth by putting messages into this river. Later, the word Alpheus was used by artists and poets to describe stories transmitted through underground channels.
