ABOUT JOSEPHINE SAMSON LTD
Stories begin with paying attention.
We develop original film and television projects from the worlds, behaviours and relationships we observe around us.
We're interested in what people do inside systems.
Workplaces, families, institutions, relationships. The structures may be different, but the human behaviour is often remarkably familiar. We're drawn to the moments where rules meet reality, and the humour, tension and meaning that emerge in between.
WHAT WE MAKE
Original stories with specific worlds and universal behaviour.
Our projects begin with a world we recognise - then look more closely at the people navigating it.
We develop character-led film and television with distinctive environments, strong behavioural observation and room for humour, tension and emotional consequence.
OBSERVED WORLDS
Specific environments with their own rhythms, rules and language.
HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
Characters revealed through what they do, not what we're told about them.
UNIVERSAL CONNECTION
Stories grounded in particular worlds, but recognisable far beyond them.
