From a promising idea
to a body of work.
We develop and produce films, shows, podcasts and short-form. Rishwajeet leads creative direction, with his Breakout team covering the agreed research, writing, production, editing and release.
Research, writing,
shooting and editing.
- A creative direction
We start with what you want to be known for, who you want to reach and what the content needs to accomplish. The direction becomes a slate of ideas and formats with a clear audience promise.
- Research & writing
Subject research, episode premises, scripts, questionnaires and recording briefs. We develop the argument or story, shape the opening, and give the production team the context to make the work well.
- Recording & post
Shoot planning, production coordination, editing and finishing, scoped to the format. Rishwajeet leads creative direction; his Breakout team brings the people and production capacity required for the engagement.
- Packaging & distribution
Titles, thumbnail directions, trailers, original short-form pieces and a release plan. We design each output for the audience and platform where it will appear, while keeping the central idea intact.
- A better next release
We review what people clicked, watched, shared and responded to, then use that evidence in the next slate, script and edit. The content intelligence system keeps that learning connected to the daily work.
Agree the format,
then build the team.
We agree the format, release schedule and production stages you need. The proposal names the team, what you supply, what we make and when each review happens.
Rishwajeet stays involved in strategy and editorial reviews. Most ongoing engagements run in quarterly cycles, with regular reviews and a performance note that informs the next decisions. We keep a limited active roster to make that involvement useful.
The written proposal sets out the team, deliverables, responsibilities and investment. See how the services fit together.
A film, a show,
or an ongoing operation.
You need a complete content operation. We can own the work from strategy through publication, with responsibilities agreed around your team and production setup.
You have a specific format to build. A founder-led channel, a research-led film, an interview show or a sustained short-form programme needs its own production rhythm. Explore podcast production or YouTube channel management for those scopes.
You already have a production team. Work with Rishwajeet on strategy, writing direction and editorial reviews while your team produces the work.
From the sources
to the finished release.
Rocket Health: a researched film at 72K views. We developed the protein story from source research through a full script, visual direction and production briefs, working with Studio 73 on the production.
Scaler: 17 verified releases, 150K+ views. Technology research becomes an argument, a script, a visual brief and a package. The published slate then gives the next round of writing something to learn from.
The Masoom Minawala Show: strategy, guest selection, research, questionnaires, trailers, Shorts and packaging, connected across the release.
Public views as of 7 September 2026. Production roles and the work covered are detailed in each case.
Look closer at the work.
Turn a podcast, film or long-form script into short-form pieces that make sense to a new viewer. We find the strongest ideas, preserve their meaning and rebuild the opening, structure and payoff for the format.

Questions about
working together.
What types of content do you produce?
We work across long-form videos, podcasts, interview shows, research-led films, short-form video, trailers and the supporting packaging and distribution. The proposal defines the formats, volume, production setup and stages we own.
Can you take an idea all the way to publication?
Yes. The engagement can include strategy, research, writing, shoot planning, production coordination, editing, packaging, publishing and performance review. Rishwajeet leads creative direction with his Breakout team delivering the agreed production scope.
Can we hire you for one part of the production?
Yes. We can work on strategy, research and writing, packaging or editorial reviews alongside your existing team. We define the handoffs and approval responsibilities before work begins.
How do you price content production?
Pricing depends on formats, release frequency, recording requirements and the stages we own. Most ongoing work runs on quarterly retainers, with a written scope, team and investment after the intro call.
