Archnet Motion Pictures produces documentaries for streaming and DVD, social media shorts for growing businesses, and educational films for museums.
What we make
Every project gets the same cinema-standard craft, from a sixty-second short to a feature for streaming.
Documentaries in development and production for streaming channels and DVD, finished in broadcast quality. See the slate and how you can get involved.
Short films for small companies and pages that want to stand out in the feed and bring in customers.
Educational films made with museums to bring collections, histories and exhibitions to life for visitors and schools.
Broadcast Projects
Early-stage and ongoing documentaries we’re producing for streaming channels and DVD. Open a project to read more and see how you can get involved.
In 1995, Judge Dredd, starring Sylvester Stallone, brought Mega City One to the big screen, along with its fleet of futuristic cabs, built by the film's crew from Land Rovers. This documentary follows the restoration of one of those original cabs and tells the story behind the vehicles, with interviews and footage of the crew who made them.
We're currently recording interviews and filming segments.
An Assignment with Grim Evil is a special feature made for the BBC's DVD and Blu-ray release of Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks. Presented by Phil Newman, it's an interview with Chris Thompson. The 1967 serial starred Patrick Troughton as the Doctor, and its location scenes were filmed at Grim's Dyke in Harrow.
Released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2021.
A Canadian independent sci-fi comedy that sends up the creature features of the 1950s. A bus tour takes fans of an obscure old TV show to the places where it was filmed. When the bus breaks down, they find themselves in the middle of a real alien invasion, and the show's former star, Professor Qurio, has to save the day.
Released digitally in March 2026 by BayView Entertainment.
This isn't an Archnet production. The film was made by Anthony D.P. Mann, and Archnet's Matthew Doe was one of its producers.
Alongside our own films, we invest in projects from other production companies when we like the sound of them. If you're making a film and looking for a producing partner, we'd love to hear about it.
Talk to us about working together →Invest in a film
Select documentaries on our slate are open to backers. Put money behind a true story you believe in, help get it made to broadcast standard, and see your name on screen when it reaches streaming and DVD.
Back a film from a small pledge with a thank-you in the credits, up to an Executive Producer credit with a seat at the premiere.
Backing a film through our crowdfunding page is a pledge in return for perks and credits. It isn’t a share of the film’s profits. For larger investments, talk to us directly. [Have this wording checked before going live.]
Social Media Shorts
Short films for local businesses, made to stop the scroll and bring in customers. Here’s our latest.

A farm-to-plate brand film following produce from Roseworthy Farms, where the cattle are raised, through the kitchen at The Turnpike Inn to the plate in front of the diner.

How it works
Who you’ll work with
We pair documentary craft with a real feel for how people watch now: honest, beautiful films built to be seen, whether that’s thirty seconds on a phone or ninety minutes on a television.
Why the Arch
No single stone in an arch can hold the weight, but leaned together they stand for centuries. That’s how we’re building Archnet: one true story at a time, each one leaning on the last, until the whole thing carries something much bigger.
FAQ
Open the project on the slate and press Enquire. Tell us whether you’re interested as a partner, broadcaster, distributor or contributor and we’ll send you more detail.
Yes. Select broadcast projects are open to backers. You can pledge through our crowdfunding page in return for perks and credits, or enquire about a larger investment and an Executive Producer role.
Every project is different, so we don’t publish prices. After we’ve talked through what you need, you get a written plan and a quote before anything is booked.
Social shorts are usually ready within two weeks of filming. Museum and brand films take four to eight weeks. Broadcast documentaries run on their own schedule, shown on each project.
We travel for the right story, at home and abroad. Tell us where you are and we’ll plan the shoot around you.
For commissioned work, you can use the finished films on your own website, channels and adverts for as long as you like. We agree the details in writing before filming starts.
