Since 2009.
Always evolving.
Turtle Canyon Media is a production company at Pinewood Studios. We make comedy, drama and factual content for cinema, television, web and social, with a bespoke approach and a high-quality finish on every project.
Since 2009, one thing has stayed the same: a passion for telling great stories, in whatever format suits them best.
Turtle Canyon Media was founded by Nick Long, Alastair Clayton and Stuart Laws, with a shared desire to create work that makes people laugh, think and feel.
The industry has changed enormously since then, and we've changed with it. We've embraced new trends, formats, styles and technology along the way, from 4K cinema-quality production to content made for web and social, while keeping the craft and care that our clients come back for.
Comedy and drama are at the heart of what we do, backed by in-house editing, grading, sound, music and VFX. Whether it's a feature, a stand-up special or a social campaign, every project gets the same professional standards and the same enthusiasm.
Friendly. Bespoke. Professional.
