What we make...
We’re currently in production on season 5 American Countess, a popular YouTube documentary series exploring Britain’s historic houses and the people who care for them.
Hosted by Julie Montagu, Countess of Sandwich, the series takes viewers behind the doors of some of the country’s most remarkable estates, uncovering stories of changing architecture, family legacy, and the art of keeping heritage alive in the modern world.
Each episode combines cinematic storytelling, expert insight, and authentic conversation, capturing both the beauty and challenges of life within Britain’s great houses.
