We move audiences by bridging two distinct worlds:
Global Factual Entertainment - Premium documentary series and formats that offer rare access to extraordinary people, hidden subcultures, and high-stakes, real-world drama across the globe.
Cinematic Micro-Documentaries - We take that exact same big-screen, premium storytelling and distill it into high-impact micro-docs. These are masterfully crafted, authentic narratives designed to elevate brands, elite professionals, and visionary corporate leaders.
From development through post, Cinnamon Road Studios is driven by a fascination with the human experience. From stories of conflict and culture to journeys of resilience, discovery, every project is guided by a simple belief: the most powerful stories are the ones that connect us.
MICRO DOCS
Drawing on a career spent crafting compelling documentary programming for global audiences, Maria Wye Berry brings the art of cinematic storytelling to individuals and organizations with stories worth preserving and sharing.
