Documentary production in Cornwall – Remains of War

Documentary production in Cornwall for the international television market. That’s our niche. Trading as Crow Creative we concentrate on video production in Cornwall  – as a skim through our blog shows. However as Shark bay Films, over the past three decades we have produced over 30 specialist underwater documentaries that have sold to broadcasters worldwide.

Plus our films have won over 60 international awards. Plus one – Castro’s Secret Reef – was put forward by an EMMY by the Smithsonian. That film was one of our most successful. Smithsonian bought it for broadcast in North America and National Geographic licensed it for the rest of the world.

International distribution deal

However Remains of War has been our most ambitious project to date. Over the past five years we have told the story of the Pacific War by tracing the debris of WW2 both on land and under the ocean throughout the South Pacific. We completed filming in 2024 and have spent the last year editing the series. And now we have reached the final hurdle. Because we have completed the online edit at Films at 59 in Bristol. And have today delivered the completed series to our agents Orange Smarty to sell worldwide Here’s River celebrating in the studio!

Remains of War being sold alongside Michael Palin’s latest series

We have chosen Orange Smarty to distribute the series because they are highly respected in the UK television industry. Because they represent many leading producers. We were delighted that at the most recent MIPCOM – the annual  world television market – our films were marketed alongside Michael Palin’s new series. We are in good company!

On screen military history expert

Military historian Saul David as our on-screen expert brought a further dimension to the series. Plus as our historical consultant he was able to guide our script. Saul has written several historical books. In particular, his book Devil Dogs actually traced the same Pacific campaign as our series.

Documentary production in Cornwall

Documentary production in Cornwall for the international television market is not the easiest task. However it is our passion, and so we have overcome all obstacles to bring this series to market around the world.
