CP was founded in 2003 by a group of filmmakers and travelers with production experience in over 20 countries for a variety of causes and clients. Our work ranges from feature length documentary film production to short films and webisodes. We produced the feature documentary Dear Francis, about AIDS in Swaziland, which aired on Showtime television and The Movie Channel. Chronicle Project is also the production entity behind the Deidox film series. More examples of our work can be found through the clients page.
Though we keep pretty busy with out own projects, CP occasionally takes on new projects for clients. We are passionate about using film to tell powerful stories.
