About Inventome
We are a small independent production company that puts the story at the very heart of what we do. Originally formed in Greece in 1997 the company moved to the UK in 2006. We currently produce from script to screen, this includes pre, production and post-production, all in-house. Collectively we have many decades of experience and have worked with clients and companies on a global basis.
We produce for ourselves or as part of a co-production and are happy to take on bespoke project work, whether that's narrative, advertising or even special venue - theatre, AR, VR and beyond. Our past experience goes beyond just film, tv and media, to encompass design, advertising, development and R&D.
We do have an agency side to us too and we balance the two sides to our company - making us ideal for any projects that cross over content creation and development.
We are unable to accept unsolicited scripts.
