Who we are
Palladia Pictures is a Los Angeles-based film development and production company founded by two writer-producers with over 30 years of combined industry experience. We create films that balance commercial appeal with elevated, character-driven storytelling.
Our work explores modern masculinity—stories that challenge, redefine, and celebrate what it means to be a man. From grounded dramas to high-concept narratives, we develop projects with emotional truth and cinematic power.
Beyond our original slate, our team of seasoned writers is available for hire—operating as a “script factory” that delivers fully realized, production-ready screenplays for studios, producers, and independent filmmakers.
