The Ébano crew preparing an interview set

About

A small documentary studio in Madrid working for some of the largest companies and organisations in the world.

Ébano Stories was born from a simple idea: tell stories with a journalist’s method. We bring that craft to the communication needs of large companies, institutions and humanitarian organisations.

We have filmed documentaries on several continents and reached global audiences through platforms such as Prime Video and Filmin. We handle the whole process, from the first idea to final delivery.

How we work

  1. Research

    Before we film, we understand the subject, the context and the people. That is how we find the story worth telling.

  2. Access

    We negotiate access and trust: with a squadron, an athlete or a refugee.

  3. Film

    Small, discreet crews that can work in complex settings, in any country.

  4. Deliver

    Edit, colour, sound, subtitles and cut-downs for every channel, on time.

Small crews. Real places.

We travel light, earn people’s trust and stay out of the way, so the story can happen in front of the camera.
