Mindhouse

Mindhouse is an independent television and media production company established in London in 2019. The firm was founded by the distinguished documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux, alongside his long-term collaborators, producer and director Nancy Strang, and creative director Arron Fellows. This founding team combines decades of experience in creating thought-provoking narrative content. Theroux is widely recognized for his immersive and often humorous documentary style, while Strang has a history of producing compelling factual programs, and Fellows brings extensive creative direction expertise to the venture. The company's formation was driven by a shared goal to produce intelligent and engaging non-fiction content for a variety of platforms, including film, television, and podcasts.

Mindhouse focuses on creating premium documentaries and popular factual programming that delve into complex and compelling subjects. The company's business model revolves around developing, producing, and delivering content for major broadcast and streaming clients. Its client roster includes prominent names such as the BBC, Channel 4, Sky, and Amazon Prime Video. Revenue is generated through commissions from these platforms for one-off documentaries, series, and other media formats. The company has demonstrated a strategic approach to growth by expanding its core team and making key appointments to head its popular factual division, aiming to broaden its slate of formats and talent-led content. In 2022, Director of Production Sophie Ardern, who had been with the company since its inception, became a co-owner, joining the original founders in directing the company's expansion.

The company's service is the end-to-end production of high-quality unscripted content. This includes conceptual development, filming, and post-production. Mindhouse has produced a diverse array of programs, from the celebrity interview series "Louis Theroux Interviews" to investigative documentaries like "The Bambers: Murder at the Farm" for Sky Crime and topical features such as "Joe Wicks: Facing My Childhood" for BBC One. A key selling point is the founders' established reputation for quality and their unique storytelling approach, which blends journalistic rigor with humor and empathy. This has enabled them to attract high-profile subjects and secure commissions for significant projects, such as a feature-length documentary on the YouTube personality KSI for Amazon and a docuseries on the 'Alien Autopsy' footage for Sky.
