Black Dog Black Wolf (BD/BW) is an Emmy and Peabody-winning collective of filmmakers who dig into the edges of culture. We uncover hidden worlds, elevate overlooked voices, and turn them into cinematic, character-driven stories. From documentaries to branded content to live experiences, we explore the shadows and push the boundaries of storytelling.

 

BD/BW combines decades of experience across scripted and unscripted storytelling. As a collaborative creative department, we draw on a diverse network of directors, producers, and visual storytellers to tackle projects that are daring and distinctive — exploring the shadows while also spotlighting the people pushing culture forward: musicians, psychedelic explorers, chefs, innovators, and voices redefining what’s possible.

 

Across our careers, we’ve partnered with HBO, Vice, Netflix, Hulu, Adult Swim and PBS, earning Emmys, Peabodys, and other major honors. Whether we’re in hidden corners or the spotlight, BD/BW’s work is designed to challenge cinematic storytelling with curiosity and heart at its core.
