STORIES BEYOND THE ORDINARY

WHY WE MAKE FILMS

For the moments
that stay with you.

A story can transport us somewhere we have never been—and bring us closer to people we might never have known. That is what draws us to filmmaking.

At Temple Gate Films, our slate brings together stories of courage, adventure, mystery, and connection. From the human history behind JOHNSTON to the worlds taking shape at Storybyte, we want to make films that invite you in and give you something to carry away.
