About Us
The Edge of Alright was first discovered by a sand dune on the outermost edge of the Atacama Desert, while shooting a series for the BBC in 2003. It took twenty years of wandering in another desert called the Film Business, before we finally found our way back to that wild edge of freedom where we live and work today, putting our passion and experience into every project, making surprising, artful films for everyone who finds themselves living on the Edge of Alright.
