About

Athenaeum is an independent production company founded in 2017 by George Jaques when he was just 16 years old.

We want to be a hub for talent and a home for stories that make you laugh and make you cry. We’re not tied to any one genre — if the script is good and the story connects across generations, we’re in.

We believe in collaboration. It takes an army to make a film, TV show, or theatre production, and we value every part of the process. We also work closely with charities like Childline and Teenage Cancer Trust, using our projects to raise money and awareness where we can.

The same passion that started Athenaeum is still in the DNA of everything we do.
