Our philosophy
Film is the myth of today. Like the stories of old, the screen content we create has tremendous power to influence what audiences think about, how they view themselves and how they view our world. In fact, we believe these stories, and the way we tell them, help shape the world of tomorrow.
Respecting the privileged position we have as storytellers, Good Eye Deer is developing film and TV content to connect, entertain and uplift broad, commercial audiences. We’re focusing on authentic stories that celebrate our shared humanity. Stories that explore the joy, wonder, trials and tribulations of life in all its diversity. We call them noisy stories about the stuff of life.

We strive to develop stories in a way that resonates with viable, commercial audiences
We love gritty stories about the human condition
20+ years producing advertising content has taught us that the best way to engage audiences is to tell (even difficult) stories in a way that entertains and inspires.
We’re attracted to authentic stories that bring people together through our shared humanity.
The vehicles of comedy and drama allow us to see ourselves reflected through characters, be it an indulgent fantasy of an alter-ego, the shadow side of ourselves, or the person we strive to be.
Partnering with international industry professionals
As producers, we’re collaborators with vision.
We build strong, talented teams who leave their egos at the door.
We actively partner with with international producers, creatives and industry professionals – and work with teams where the uniqueness of the individual contributes to the strength and quality of the project.
