THE COMPANY
MORE ABOUT WHO WE ARE
OUR STORY
Fatoedo Productions is a dynamic, upstart independent award-winning production company dedicated to implementing change in the film and television industry through the production of films, documentaries, online content and music videos that reflect society and the diversity it has to offer. We make content that will appeal to many, if not all demographics, but our content will widley feature people of colour in prominent roles and situations. In scripted productions, we are not limited by genre.
Whether it's comedy, crime thrillers, hard-hitting biographical dramas, science-fiction or fantasy, we want to show the breadth of narratives that can show how diverse the world actually is. In non-scripted content, we want to produce untold stories and narratives that other production companies may shy away from or ignore. As well as actively producing multi-media content, Fatoedo Productions offers services such as filmmaking tutorials and camps designed to democratise access to filmmaking skills, particularly for young and minority individuals. The future is now. The future is Fatoedo.
