About Us
We have faith in the human spirit, so we tell stories to uplift it.
Deep Seat is a London-based documentary production company. We make films for charities, NGOs, cultural institutions, and cause-driven organisations who believe that honest storytelling can change how people think, feel, and act.
Our work spans short-form documentary content, broadcast documentary, and long-form film. Clients have included the BBC, Al Jazeera, Google, and a range of charities and nonprofits.
We're a small, senior team. That means every project gets our full attention, a consistent creative voice from brief to delivery, and none of the coordination overhead that comes with larger studios.
