The Slate
Our projects, one page at a time
Feature film · Action comedy thriller
Open the projectDon't Forget to Lose
A story about love, power, and the choices that define us, set in a world where nothing is simple and everything has a cost.
An action comedy thriller about a man who has never been any good at losing. Funny because the people are funny, with real weight underneath.
Feature film · Survival thriller
Open the projectThe Hannibal Protocol
No one gets out alone.
A survival thriller that never lets go. A handful of people, one place they cannot leave, and a situation that turns worse by the minute. Contained by design, and impossible to walk away from. It ends under one sky.
Feature film · Action adventure
Open the projectGuardians of the Kohinoor
Some diamonds are best left untouched.
An action adventure across two continents, with ancient myth, modern danger and a great deal of humour. In the register of Red Notice and National Treasure.
Documentary series · Interview series
Open the projectHome
The interview they have never given.
A different kind of interview series with Lucy Aharish, one of Israel's best known broadcasters, built to get somewhere no other interview reaches.
Documentary series · Human stories
Open the projectA New Series with Lucy Aharish
Some choices cost everything. They made them anyway.
An interview series with Lucy Aharish, sitting down with people whose private lives became public property, and asking what it actually cost them. The rest we are keeping to ourselves until we announce it.
Scripted series · Crime drama
Open the projectSing or Die
How far would you be willing to go to fulfil your dream?
A crime series in French, set in Marseille, where ambition and violence share the same stage. A man is handed the life he always wanted, at a price he was never meant to pay. Every episode ends on a song.
Scripted series · Espionage action drama
Open the projectShadow Men
What do you do when you find out that your greatest enemy is your brother?
An espionage series written by people who have lived in that world, which is where its detail comes from. Two men on opposite sides of the same long war, one hunt that neither can finish alone, and a secret their fathers left behind.
