Titan
Eighty per cent of everything you own arrived by sea. Titan is the series about the people and machinery that move it.
Make a returnable factual series about global logistics that a broadcaster would run on merit — not a corporate film with a logo on the end. That meant a format with genuine narrative stakes, access to operations that are normally closed, and a delivery standard indistinguishable from commissioned blue-chip factual.
The constraint most producers fail on: the story lives inside a working terminal on a live vessel call. There is no second take, and the schedule belongs to the ship.
We built the series as self-contained hours, each carrying a different pillar of the business, so it works as a run and any single hour stands alone for a broadcaster sampling it.
The pilot, Titans of Tangier, is a workforce story. Rather than open on hardware, it opens on the people who run one of the fastest transshipment terminals in the Mediterranean — which is what makes the scale legible when the hardware does arrive.
Interviews are conducted in Arabic and delivered subtitled. That was a deliberate editorial choice, not a logistical concession: the workforce tells the story in its own language, which is precisely what separates this from a corporate video.

The pilot was built around the Antonia Maersk vessel call at MedPort Tangier. Rather than run a separate recce trip, we folded the pre-shoot recce into the first production days — a small-unit advantage that removed a full travel cycle from the budget and put the crew on the ground while the terminal was live.
Production ran on a five-to-six person footprint under filming authorisation coordinated across Maersk corporate communications, terminal operations and APM Terminals.
Pilot in production. Quintus Studios commissioned the series and holds distribution; SD Media is the production company delivering it.
Titan is the template we now take to every industrial, energy and infrastructure client: a brand pays for a series that stands on its own editorially, gets made to broadcast specification, and reaches an audience through a distributor rather than a media buy.
