About

Middlechild (Brighton) and, Northern Child (Newcastle) are fully independent, unscripted production companies specialising in observational documentary. We work with remarkable people to tell their stories in creative and compelling ways.

Whether following someone’s unique working life, recounting a very personal experience, or making a topical, issue-led film, we pride ourselves on building respectful relationships with those in front of the camera, and the talent behind it. Grounded in compassion, kindness, and collaboration, those relationships help us deliver films and programmes that exceed expectations and have an effective impact on audiences.

From feature length documentaries to softer returning factual formats, for fifteen-years we have been creating content for all the major British broadcasters as well as global platforms. Our team are experienced programme makers who have made films about highly sensitive and complex subjects as well as lighter shows that entertain millions of people.
