Our movies are immersive, surprising, and (most importantly) fun.
Through deep reporting, rich archival material, and unconventional points of view, we tell stories that reveal something larger about us and the worlds we build.
Welcome to Action Park, the notorious 1980s New Jersey water park that long ago entered the realm of myth.

It's 1990s Seattle and the world's best bank robber has it all: looks, charm, a sprawling treehouse hideout, and an uncanny ability to disappear using Hollywood-style makeup. But as law enforcement inches closer, his once-carefree life spirals into a suffocating trap, forcing him and his crew to risk it all in one final heist.
They built Burning Man. They inspired Fight Club. Then they created Santacon… and totally lost control of it as an anarchy-fueled 1990s prank transformed into a drunken, violent mess, and the world's most hated holiday.
Premiered in competition at DOC NYC 2025. Wide release coming soon.
