STORIES WITH SOUL. MADE TO LAST.

At the core of Turnover XXV is our commitment to telling bold, emotionally resonant stories rooted in truth and lived experience. We develop and produce original feature films through a rehearsal-first model that prioritises character, emotional depth, authenticity, and performance. Our slate is curated for artistic impact and international reach, grounded in the North East, shaped by creative integrity, and designed to push independent cinema forward. We produce three to five original films each year, focusing on character-led storytelling and strong regional production. Guided by the idea of ‘small worlds, big stories’, we also welcome external projects that align with our values and support new voices, with a focus on underrepresented talent.

Currently in development, the Turnover XXV freeport studio will integrate casting, production, education, and community co-working spaces, creating a dynamic hub for regional talent and international partnerships. Designed to serve both our own productions and external clients, the facility will anchor a resilient creative economy in the North East. It will offer long-term opportunity for local artists, crew, and collaborators. From work placements to workshops, the studio will provide access and support for students, emerging professionals, and those historically excluded from the industry. From grassroots stories to exportable cinema, the studio will be a home for filmmaking with purpose.

We work with filmmakers and production partners who share our values, providing access to local infrastructure, casting expertise, creative packaging, and production support. Whether you're developing a project in the region or seeking a meaningful base for co-production, Turnover XXV offers hands-on collaboration and regional insight, a strong local network to help realise your vision. We particularly welcome partnerships that share our commitment to inclusion, access, and the development of new voices across all levels of production. Our goal is to build a platform where like-minded storytellers can thrive.

Education is central to our mission. We bridge the gap between emerging talent and on the job practical experience by providing structured access to the industry. Through paid internships, shadowing placements, and international exchange programmes, we create meaningful pathways into film for emerging talent and those historically excluded from it. In partnership with educational organisations, we support students and early-career creatives in developing the practical, artistic, and collaborative skills essential to the evolving screen sector.
