Partners in Action

Shot in the Dark Productions is a New Orleans-based independent production company creating premium documentary, unscripted, reality and factual entertainment that illuminates dramatic and unexpected corners of the human experience — from true crime to natural disasters to haunted history — for television, streaming, and broadcast audiences worldwide.

Produced at scale through Louisiana's 40% entertainment tax credit, our content delivers more story per dollar than anyone else in the space.

We structure projects for co-development, co-production or full commission by successfully using this financial incentive and adapting to our client's models.

Each project is unique but here’s how we typically work together:

FULL COMMISSION

You commission, we produce

You greenlight a project from our slate in development. We deliver a finished series or film to your specs and timeline. You benefit from the Louisiana tax credit on qualifying production spend.

CO-PRODUCTION

Shared rewards

We co-develop a project together. Costs, credits, and distribution rights are shared by agreement. The Louisiana tax credit is maximized for the co-production entity.

PRODUCTION SERVICE

Your concept, our execution

You have a concept or format that can be produced in Louisiana or the U.S. South. We provide full production services, local expertise, crew, locations and tax credit leverage.

Our productions, services and proven track record make us one of the fastest-growing and most reliable production partners for cost-effective premium media that captivates viewers around the globe.
