Hanford Media Group is a boutique creative studio built around one belief: that the best stories come from the intersection of deep craft and genuine vision.
Founded by Brian Hanford — writer, director, and creative producer — HMG has worked across TV, film, and branded content with clients and networks including Disney, NBC, Amazon Prime, Lifetime, Fox, and Great American Family, on both sides of the Atlantic.
We operate at the premium end of independent production: small enough to stay agile, experienced enough to deliver.
Whether you're looking to commission a script, hire a director, or develop an original project — we'd love to hear from you.
HMG works with networks, studios, brands, and independent producers on a project-by-project basis. Based in Los Angeles and London, we take on select projects where we can make a genuine creative contribution.
