About Us

We Create Engaging Stories

Parallel Vision Productions was founded by two award-winning story editors who share the same Vision — to make original and engaging stories, videos, and documentaries that challenge preconceived ideas and offer unique ways of perceiving the world.

At Parallel Vision Productions, we have a combined 30+ years of experience in broadcast media and documentary media production. We aim to inspire and to entertain – but mostly, we want to create a meaningful viewing – and listening – experience.

How We Work

We start with an idea that we’re passionate about and our creative process flows from this central place. It’s about trust in ourselves, our team and having the determination to make our creative vision come to life.

We want to open our minds to different ways of seeing and do our small share to help make our world a better place.
