01 — About

A studio for modern cinema.

Earthlight is a creative studio built for the modern film world and backed by some of the biggest names in the industry. We develop and produce distinctive, character-driven stories that move audiences everywhere.

Our Story

Built for the way films get made now.

Earthlight was started to do one thing well: develop and produce films with a specific point of view, made by teams who actually want to be in a room together. The industry has changed. Audiences have changed. We took what we’ve learned from twenty-plus years across studio and indie sets and built a company shaped for today’s reality, and tomorrow’s.

Our work lives where artistry meets audience. Think StudioCanal meets A24 after a good espresso, cinematic but human, clever without being cold. We are based in Ireland, but the films we make travel. We have shot in twelve countries and counting, with crews and co-production partners across Europe and North America.

We handle everything from development to finance and production. We champion great writing, strong partnerships, and a working culture that values people as much as projects. If a project is going to take two years of your life, the people involved had better be worth it.

What we believe

Four ideas we keep coming back to.

i.

Story over spectacle

We back films that come from a particular point of view. Specificity is the shortest route to universality.

ii.

Discipline as care

A well-run set is a kind set. We treat schedules, contracts and crew with equal seriousness.

iii.

Honest economics

We design finance structures to protect the work and reward investment. No magical thinking.

iv.

Long relationships

Filmmakers, financiers, festivals, distributors, we work with people we trust and intend to keep working with.

02 — Leadership

The people on the page.

A small senior team with a long shared history. We’ll introduce the rest of the studio properly soon.

Managing Director

Jordan Reeve

Third-generation filmmaker who started behind a camera at thirteen and now leads Earthlight. Twelve years across UK and US production, most recently the $16M feature on Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Also created a subsidised post-house with a Dolby Atmos mix theatre, a scheme that puts ARRI cameras into low-budget productions, and an animation studio employing artists from conflict-affected regions across London, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur.

Producer

Tom Reeve

Career spans the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Central Europe and the US, over 40 dramas, 200+ commercials and a sustained relationship with Disney, Netflix and Sky.

Fifteen awards and counting; specialist in retained rights and direct international distribution.

Development

Actress and creative producer whose on-screen credits include Pocahauntus (2006), The Dead and Us (2020) and Addiction Road (2022). Joined Studio POW in 2023 working alongside the Head of Production on slate development before bringing that organisational instinct and storyteller’s ear into Earthlight’s development team. Reads scripts the way a performer does, for what is actually playable.
