It is the brave people with whom those relationships have blossomed that ignited the company focus into important themes that others may shy away from; the hard realities of sexual violence, systemic abuse, and institutional accountability.

Now sitting at a unique nexus of true-crime entertainment and impact-focused storytelling, we seek to tell truthful stories that uplift survivors and profile agents of change –  stories of brave disruptors facing down adversity and fighting for their cause despite the long odds arrayed against them.

At Lightmaker, the storytelling must be engaging. It must be authentic. It must be powerful. It must be propelled by purpose.

This underdog, independent spirit combines with hand-crafted storytelling to drive the work. Our unwavering belief in these stories combined with our dedication to uncompromising standards — ensures these stories are told with ultimate care and with the highest cinematic production value.

This mission has yielded a diverse range of content, ranging from powerful film festival shorts, to branded impact films, to television series currently in development at Discovery+.

We are based in Charleston, South Carolina.
