The founders' track record

Why we make what we make

Most sport content is made about athletes by people watching from outside.

The quiet eye is the fixation that comes just before commitment. It is measurable, it is what separates an expert from a novice, and it is where the film is. We named the company after it because we came from inside the sport before we came to the camera.

Athletes need a story that outlives their results. Brands need to be believed by an audience that dismisses advertising on sight. Events need a reason for people to care in the eleven months when nothing is happening. All three are the same job, and it is not covered by highlights.

What we do

Four strands
01

Documentaries

A career ends and the earning power goes with it. We make the film that outlives the results.

02

Athlete led YouTube

You do not own your audience. We build a channel you do.

03

Branded campaigns

You have already paid for the association. We make it worth something.

04

Event highlights

Your audience disappears for eleven months. We give them a reason to come back.

Common questions

5 answered
How does an athlete earn money after retiring?

Earnings after a career follow whatever audience and story the athlete built while still competing. Speaking, media work, brand partnerships and coaching all depend on being known for something beyond results. Almost nobody builds that on their own, and almost nobody builds it afterwards.

Should a professional athlete start a YouTube channel?

Yes, if it can be sustained. YouTube is the only major platform where the athlete owns the relationship with the audience, and where a sponsor can price the result. The obstacle is consistency, which is why most athletes need production support rather than advice.

How much does a sport documentary cost?

Cost follows shoot days, travel and complexity rather than runtime. A film made over a few days in one location sits far below one that follows a season. We scope to a budget, and we say early if a film is the wrong tool for the job.

What is the difference between a documentary and event highlights?

Highlights record that something happened. A documentary argues that it mattered. Highlights serve an audience that was already there and last a few days. A documentary reaches people who were not there and keeps working for years.

Where are you based?

We work across the UK from London and Perth, and we film anywhere in the world. A core team is supported by a trusted network of freelancers, which lets us scale for any project.
