Producing unapologetically truthful stories and empowering the creatives who tell them.

Makalla McPherson Studio is a production company developing emotionally driven, character-led drama for television and film. We centre underrepresented voices and stories that challenge the status quo grounded in truth, emotional complexity, and creative vision.

Where bold stories begin and creatives find their voice.
