Historical Consulting Services for Film & Television

Historical and mythological review of pitches, treatments, outlines and drafts. We flag what's wrong, explain why it matters, and offer fixes that serve the story, not just the footnote.

If you have a concept, we will build the world it lives in: belief systems, rituals, social structures, material culture and the folklore behind the monsters. Drawn from primary sources, shaped into a bible your writers can actually use.

Brainstorming with a historian in the room. We dig plot points, conflicts and characters out of the real record: the stranger-than-fiction material most productions never find.

Authentic dialogue, translation, pronunciation guidance and on-screen inscriptions in Latin, Old English, Old Norse, Old Irish and other historical languages. Every word should sound like it belongs in the mouth that speaks it.

Myths are older and weirder than their pop-culture versions. We trace stories back to their sources and cultural contexts, giving you origins, variants and symbolism to draw on, or to subvert with intent.

Support for art department, costume, props and performers through prep, shoot and post. Fast, sourced answers when a question lands at 6am on day 32.

The past is never just the past. We connect your story's history to the questions audiences are asking now, so period detail does more than decorate: it means something.

Every good monster has a family tree. We trace the ancient beliefs, rituals and medieval bestiaries behind your creatures, so they tap into something primal long after the credits roll.

When a brief runs beyond our core periods, we connect you with specialist historians, linguists and folklorists matched to the subject. One point of contact, the right expert for the job.
