ABOUT US
High Five Content is a TV, film, and audio production company creating premium, story-driven projects inspired by true events, real people, and the worlds they inhabit. The work is smart, captivating, and highly entertaining—stories with cinematic ambition, journalistic backbone, and a point of view.
Spanning scripted and unscripted television, feature documentaries and films, podcasts, and select digital and branded series, High Five Content develops and produces ambitious projects across genres and formats. The focus is always on originality, voice, and tone—finding the version of a story that hasn’t been told yet, and telling it in a way that actually sticks.
High Five Content works closely with top creative talent and leading partners, taking a hands-on, detail-obsessed approach from development through delivery. The goal isn’t volume or noise—it’s making great work, collaborating with great people, and building stories audiences care about long after the credits roll.

Our Services
High Five Content specializes in taking the seed of an idea and bringing it to life. Sometimes that’s our own original content that we take to networks, commissioners and other funders, and sometimes it’s content that High Five Content finances and distributes on our own channels.
High Five Content also provides production services to networks, studios, production companies and others in need of experienced, efficient and damn good producing, as a one-stop shop with end-to-end capabilities. If you are interested to work with us or just know more, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We have the ability to produce video podcasts anywhere in the world, with hosts and guests fully or partially in-person or conversing entirely remotely.

We have vast experience developing, selling and producing documentary specials and series for networks like Hulu, Discovery, Investigation Discovery, AMC, Amazon and more. Our work is often packaged with exciting partners. Most recently we’ve worked Mark Wahlberg and the Russo brothers.
Feature Documentaries
Some stories are different. Some are not meant to be told episodically, are meant to be seen on the big screen, or demand a different financing, production and distribution model. These are often feature documentaries. High Five Content develops and produces both commissioned and indie-financed feature docs and is currently in production on two projects due to land in 2027.
