OUR STORY
About Us
50 Pictures is a team of TV professionals who spent years thinking that the secret to great content was the best kit, the biggest budgets, and a famous face or two.

We were wrong.
You don't earn attention by being the loudest, the most famous, or the one who splashes the most cash - you get it by telling the most compelling story.

Because stories are the most authentic and effective way to connect with a human audience. And even the occasional horse.
Our Team
At the heart of 50 Pictures is a core team that believes that marketing should never feel like marketing - it should feel like a Damn Good Story. So we bring decades of story-finding experience and storytelling expertise - telling stories for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, and Netflix - to every project.

Around us is a wider family of trusted freelancers - a nimble, hand-picked crew - with specialist research, production, and post-production skills. We're all dedicated to telling Damn Good Stories - knowing that the best stories are found in real life.
