SheridanWorks explores the lives of people around the world doing extraordinary things. Many of our stories focus on the lived experiences of people that are facing, and finding solutions for, the most difficult social and economic challenges. Other stories capture creative people in action. Our filmmaking style prioritizes visual experience.

LearningWorks puts to use our 25 years of documentary filmmaking experience to educate a new generation of storytellers.
