Journey to Making Films and Netflix Success
Ben&Jack Studio’s journey from humble beginnings to crafting films on Netflix is nothing short of extraordinary. It all started with a desire to tell real stories that resonate with audiences. With limited resources, the studio embarked on creating documentaries that shine a light on unique narratives, such as those found in the world disability or the ruthlessness of deselection in football academies. The dedication to impactful content paid off when five of their nine documentaries found homes on major platforms, including Netflix—a feat that founder Ben Marlow once considered beyond his wildest dreams when running the still operational Kissing Gate Films Wedding Cinematography.
