The Progress Film Company

A creative film agency and production studio est. 2010. Commercials, branded, series, features. By filmmakers for filmmakers. Storytellers first.

Progress is a contemporary film studio established in 2010 by filmmakers Matt Hopkins and Ben Lankester.

Today, Progress makes commercials, digital content, branded entertainment, animation and feature-length cinema under one roof, with a two-tiered management structure servicing both agency and direct-to-client needs worldwide. No matter the brief, we are Progress. Storytellers first.

Because Progress was created by filmmakers for filmmakers, we nurture and develop a talented roster of directors, producers and animators, allowing our creatives the chance to thrive through smart, innovative content that focuses on stunning visual storytelling. Our unique structure enables us to combine our expertise in content for brands with independently produced drama and documentary work, the cornerstone of our company since its inception.

At Progress, every project feeds the next.
