About Us

Eaton Creative, Inc. was first incorporated in the US in 1997 by filmmaker Leo Eaton under the name Café, Inc. as a full-service television production company creating documentary programming, factual entertainment and children’s television, and specializing in co-production between the US and Europe. Our company name changed to Eaton Creative in 2001. 

Since Eaton Creative’s formation seven years ago, we have been responsible for – or directly associated with – 90 hours of prime-time documentary and factual programming. Of this total, Eaton Creative has solely produced 16 hours while an additional 76 hours have been produced in association with Eaton Creative through the executive and series producing activities of our President & CEO Leo Eaton.

Clients for Leo Eaton and Eaton Creative, Inc. include PBS, WNET, WETA, KCET, Discovery, A&E, RTE (Ireland), BBC-TV, C4 (UK), SBS (Australia), the National Geographic Channel and the Outdoor Life Network (OLN).

Programming genres where we have extensive experience include docu-reality, current affairs, history, wild life & nature, music & dance performance and children’s television.

One of our primary strengths as a small but focused TV production company is in our partnerships, able to call on previous co-production relationships in Canada, Russia, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya & South Africa, Israel and Egypt..

We have ongoing reciprocal ties to UK-based Maya Vision International Ltd whose international track record includes extensive filming experience throughout the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent. We work on a regular basis with top production crews and filmmakers from across the US and around the world.

Whether shooting on 35/16mm, HD, digibeta or DVCam, Eaton Creative produces at all budget levels from high-end location dance performance and history dramatization to low-budget documentary reality using small-format cameras.

Our single unifying principal is the integrity and excellence of the final program on the screen. As President & CEO Leo Eaton says: “The quality of our content is paramount, no matter what broadcast or online platforms may finally be used for transmission.  ‘Good enough’ is not good enough.”  However since producing television documentaries is an all-consuming passion, it’s also important to have fun at what we do.  As Eaton likes to add: “In our business, we all work far too hard to take it too seriously.”
