Development slate
Farmhouse develops independent films, documentaries, and series with distinctive voices, disciplined scope, and lasting value. Some projects need quiet, careful work before they need a public announcement, so project details are shared when the timing is right for the work and the collaborators involved.
Areas of interest
These are areas where Farmhouse sees room for distinctive, human, responsibly produced work.
Narrative
Films with a strong sense of place, memorable characters, and emotional stakes that travel beyond the map.
Specific communities, lived-in worlds, working lives, families, civic life, and stories that avoid both nostalgia and condescension.
Documentary
Documentary work that preserves meaningful lives, crafts, conflicts, communities, and questions before they disappear from view.
Access, trust, patience, ethical attention, and enough structure to turn observation into a story audiences can enter.
Speculative
Speculative stories that care less about spectacle than people: character, consequence, longing, humor, faith, work, and home.
Fresh premises, responsible scope, emotional resonance, and the courage to imagine futures that are strange without becoming hollow.
Investigative
Stories that look closely at buried decisions, institutional silence, contested public narratives, and the human cost of what goes unsaid.
Curiosity, evidence, restraint, moral seriousness, and enough dramatic shape to ask difficult questions without trading in rumor or easy answers.
