Michael Blackwood Productions

is an independent production company that has produced over 150 documentaries on the arts with an emphasis on contemporary developments and the avant-garde dating back to the 1960s, oftentimes covering earlier subjects, but focusing on advances through the second decade of the 21st Century. The subject matter is heavily concentrated around architecture and architects, art and artists, dance and choreographers, and music and composers. A few titles cover literature, history, film history, and science. The medium is used artfully to document the ideas, creations, and personalities in these disciplines. The prevailing method is related to cinéma vérité, and is less often didactic and always informative and intimate. Our films are notable for the timely manner in which they were made, as well as their ability to inspire and educate by bringing the viewer into direct contact with the subject.
