About Us

At Tay River Pictures, you focus on the creative vision - we support you with the planning, organisation, and practical tools that make your project easier to bring to life. We also develop and produce our own independent film projects, and can take on the wider production responsibilities of a project when the resources are in place. From script development and story feedback to production planning and clear visual materials, we help independent filmmakers stay organised, prepared, and confident. Whether you’re shaping a new idea or preparing for a shoot, we provide the structured support that lets you stay focused on the story.

Film Production

Independent Film Support

Independent film production and practical support from development through to the shoot. We can help shape the production plan, coordinate locations, crew, equipment, schedules, and other practical requirements, working with filmmakers to turn a project from script into a workable production. Whether supporting an external project or developing our own, we approach each production with a practical, resourceful and independent mindset.

Creative Projects

Tailored Production Solutions

We collaborate with filmmakers, actors, and producers on tailored creative solutions - including lookbooks, pitch visuals, and script development services such as script advice, editing, story feedback, and helping translate ideas from page to screen. We also assist with director’s and producer’s statements for pitch materials, giving your project a clear and confident voice, and we provide accurately timed English subtitle creation and formatting if needed.

Editing Services

Post-Production Excellence

Our post‑production team ensures every frame tells its story with clarity and emotion. We offer film, trailer, showreel, and sound editing. Whether refining pacing or enhancing tone, we deliver polished edits that elevate your project’s impact and professionalism.
