True TV: About Us

Making Bruce Goes Dancing, filmimg on a Manhattan rooftop,

True TV and Film is a ‘bespoke’ company, set up with a small base in Glasgow, Scotland and networked with producers and broadcasters throughout Europe and Africa – so we are niche and global at the same time.

Barbara Orton set up True TV in 1997 after producing the award winning film In Cuba They’re Still dancing…

We make documentaries and factual programmes, specialising in compelling character driven, human interest stories that engage and entertain. Our stories come from Scotland, the UK and from around the world. We have particular experience relating those stories to music, arts and entertainment, multi-cultural genres. We do contemporary stories and contemporary takes on historical themes.

We love to take on stories for films that are special to us, strike a cord with us, that are socially meaningful, and look for humour where we can.

TRUE TV produces, co-produces and distributes in the UK, and all over the world with our current partners for broadcast television and new related platforms.

GROWTH means to us, developing our networks and relationships with working partners. We are a micro company and want to be a micro company.
