Description

For over twenty years Journeyman has distributed and co-produced, provocative, profound and original factual content, working with the top players in the industry. We're one of the leading independent suppliers of award winning stories to the global theatrical, broadcast, digital and educational markets, and pride ourselves on a position at the spearhead of the factual agenda. With a very successful catalogue covering a myriad of subjects and styles, from award-winning festival docs to hot new investigations and bold character stories, we always keep at heart a central journalistic ethic that goes to the very roots of the company. After years reporting from war zones and producing independent docs, company founder Mark Stucke began formulating a distribution system that would bring a greater return for the valuable copyright he and his fellow producers were risking their necks to create. Twenty five years on our agenda remains the same: to always be looking for new ways to create revenue for the stories our partners tell. The combination of interactive web platforms, a powerful publicity system and a strong sales focus means our films target both the market and the consumer directly. Our direct relationships with Amazon, iTunes and Google allow us to avoid the middle man and ensure that our films are always discoverable and continually kept alive, even years after launch. In a world driven by ratings and a quick entertainment fix, it is becoming increasingly challenging to get intelligent, independent productions seen. It is a challenge we thrive on. We’re constantly pushing forward new developments to keep ahead of an ever-changing game.

    Red Without Blue

    film/video, 2007

    What happens to the unique bond between identical twins when they're no longer identical? Mark and Alex Farley were beyond close the first 14 years of their idyllic childhood. Born two minutes apart but separated for two and a half years after a joint suicide pact, the twins come back together as their parent's marriage falls apart. The film, shot over three years, follows Alex, now Claire, living in New York and considering gender reassignment surgery, and Mark, attending art school in San Francisco. Interweaving interviews, archival footage and experimental super-8 sequences in a style more narrative than traditional documentary, Red Without Blue is an intimate account of the twin's struggle for individuality and a return to themselves.

  • North by Current

    film/video, 2021

    After the inconclusive death of his young niece, filmmaker Angelo Madsen Minax returns to his rural Michigan hometown, preparing to make a film about a broken criminal justice system. Instead, he pivots to excavate the depths of generational addiction, Christian fervor, and trans embodiment. Lyrically assembled images, decades of home movies, and ethereal narration form an idiosyncratic and poetic undertow that guide a viewer through lifetimes and relationships. Like the relentless Michigan seasons, the meaning of family shifts, as Madsen, his sister, and his parents strive tirelessly to accept each other. Poised to incite more internal searching than provide clear statements or easy answers, NORTH BY CURRENT is a visual rumination on the understated relationships between mothers and children, truths and myths, losses and gains.
