Our approach
We develop and produce material across the full spectrum of storytelling — scripted features and series, non-scripted and documentary, and original literary properties. The throughline isn't a genre or a tone. It's a point of view: stories that take a position, characters worth following, and craft that lasts longer than a release window.
Versatility is the discipline. Whether the project is a quiet character study or a piece of cultural reportage, the work is built around what the story actually needs — not around the format we're most comfortable in.
Across three pillars
Plastic Pictures Co. works at the page, the screen, and the room — believing each makes the other stronger. We acquire and develop literary properties with film and television potential, we produce original premium content, and we partner with writers and filmmakers from first draft through release.
Film
Original features and elevated genre — developed with directors and writers we'd back across multiple projects, not single deals.
Television
Limited series and returning premium drama, built around character and a clear creative center. Producer-led from day one.
Literary
Active acquisition of books, articles, and original IP — developed in-house from page to screen, and supported as books in their own right.
Our mission
At its core, Plastic Pictures Co. is dedicated to the art of storytelling — producing content that not only entertains, but inspires reflection and meaningful conversation. We see ourselves as curators of resonant narratives and as long-term partners to the people telling them.
We back writers, filmmakers, and authors whose voices are underrepresented or under-supported in the rooms where the decisions get made. We move where we have conviction. If it isn't a yes, it's a no.
The name
Plastic Pictures takes its name from the artistic practice of founder Beau Dunn — a Los Angeles–born, Beverly Hills–raised interdisciplinary artist whose body of work uses plastic, neon, and the iconography of consumer culture to interrogate the stories society tells itself.
The neon mark above isn't decorative. It's a direct extension of Dunn's Next Generation neon series — carrying the same visual language, and the same insider's eye, into the moving image.
Plastic, in her practice, is the material that holds the message. In film and television, the message is the material. Plastic Pictures is the place where those two ideas meet — a production company shaped by an artist's perspective, building stories with the shape, color, and conviction to last.
