Our team
Who we work with
We are also developing a range of other projects for broadcast and the festival circuit, and look forward to sharing more details soon.
The EQS team is comprised of visual storytellers with deep experience in documentary, scripted drama, and live entertainment. Our work has won and been nominated for multiple awards including the Primetime Emmys, News & Doc Emmys, Tony Awards, BANFF Awards, and the Sentel Awards.
For over two decades, we have worked with top-tier talent from Hollywood and beyond, including Steven Spielberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks, Mike Nichols, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. We have filmed projects around the globe, throughout the US, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
We are currently in pre-production on Into the Lost Desert, which follows an extreme desert explorer as he attempts to become the first person to cross the world's largest sand desert, and Flight Club Arabia, which follows young Saudi women as they embark on the life-changing experience of learning to fly.
