Stories worth telling well.

Quotable Pictures is the studio behind Robin's Wish, the theatrical documentary that corrected the record on Robin Williams' final year and is available in more than seventy countries. We point that same camera at brands, founders, and people no one has filmed yet, and give them the full weight of cinema.

The feature work
"A portrait in unfathomable courage. A horror story shackled to a hero's journey."
Robin's Wish · The Wall Street Journal The films ↗

If you have a story worth telling well, there is only one call.

The director does not change when the budget does: the eye that held a theater full of strangers holds your two minutes. Films here are built the way features are built, and there is no b-team to send. There is Tylor and a crew, and a story that deserves both.

What we make

Full crews, wherever the story is. Stills and motion in one production.

The Studio
Cinema taught us the method. Listen until you find the line worth quoting, then build everything around it.

Tylor Norwood founded Quotable Pictures in 2009 and has spent nearly twenty years in documentary: directing for the BBC, shooting for HBO, and releasing Robin's Wish, the theatrical feature that hit number one on the iTunes documentary chart. The Mayo Clinic has recognized its film Spark. Fast Company has recognized its photography. The feature work and the brand work are made by the same hands, and Glassdoor has trusted those hands with a decade of films.

The belief underneath all of it is simple: everyone is quotable. The pastor rebuilding a block in Detroit gets the same eye and the same frame as the CEO of a global company. That is the whole ethic of the place. And none of it is a solo act: every film and every photograph is carried by a crew that knows why it is there.

How it works
  1. Listen. We sit with the people who live your story until we hear the sentence the film hangs on.
  2. Write. A treatment you can react to: the story, the look, and what it's for.
  3. Shoot. A full crew with the director on set, shooting until the real thing happens.
  4. Deliver. The film, the cutdowns, and the stills, built for every channel you run.

A single day of production begins at $9,500. Features and campaigns are scoped to the story.
