The best stories. Told the best way.

Antica Productions is an award-winning production company based in Toronto, Canada, with partners in the USA and UK. We believe in the power of purpose-driven storytelling to change the world.

We’ve evolved - and continue to evolve - with audiences. From our roots in broadcast and our continuing work in streaming and features, we create the most compelling, emotional, and immersive content wherever you are. Podcasting. Online video. Social media. Every platform is different, but storytelling connects them all.

In the past year alone, we’ve produced TV series for national broadcasters, festival films for TIFF, and award-winning podcasts for the BBC and Audible. We’ve also built thriving YouTube and Instagram channels for original history, science, and public-policy shows.

Few companies can claim honours across the Webbys, Ambies, Signal Awards, Canadian Screen Awards, Banff Rockies, New York Festivals, Independent Podcast Awards, Black Podcast Awards, Canadian Podcast Awards, Women’s Podcast Awards, Hot Docs, and the Golden Pandas. But then, few work as widely, from history to science to comedy, or as deeply.

Our shows don’t just win awards; they build audiences and trust. In a cluttered world of rage algorithms and scattered attention, Antica’s stories - whatever the medium - connect.
