ORIGIN STORY
Having previously collaborated over the past several years, the three producers have decided to join forces and launch an independent production company. Focused on long-form scripted content, Area V5 Pictures is looking for innovative storytelling that will redefine the boundaries of the entertainment industry and leave a lasting impact on audiences internationally. Although genre agnostic, Area V5 Pictures is eager to develop exciting projects in horror, thriller and fantasy spaces.
forged from passion
“We're extremely proud to be starting this new venture together. Producing independently can be daunting; no two projects are the same. Each project requires a huge level of commitment and resources from producers, from early development and financing to final delivery. Working as a team means these challenges become surmountable, and we can go further together. We look forward to tackling bigger and bolder storytelling through Area V5 Pictures.”
- Altobelli, Ellis and Saarimaki (Co-Founders)
