About us

As one of the UK’s most prominent female-led production companies we are no strangers to making an impact

What we do, how we work, what are our values

At Pirate we make great TV and movies.

We collaborate! We love partnering with other companies to make screen stories here in the UK and internationally.

We look for projects at early stages, especially original, challenging scripts by new writers.

Pirate works in Scotland and celebrates Scottish talent and locations.

Pirate is proudly female-led and we champion diversity and inclusion across all areas of the company.

Pirate is a great partner through all stages of development and production - so our partners tell us!
