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 the company’s initial formation twelve years ago, we have been responsible for – or directly associated with – 142 hours of prime-time and children’s documentary & factual programming. Of this total, Eaton Creative has solely produced 22 hours while an additional 125 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 regularly with top production crews and filmmakers from across the US and around the world. We have ongoing relationships with broadcasters, cablenets, CGI design houses multi-platform online web developers.
Shooting from high-end HD to small format web video, Eaton Creative produces at all budget levels. 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 factual programming is an all-consuming passion, it’s also important to have fun at what we do. As Leo Eaton likes to add: “In our business, we all work far too hard to take it too seriously.”
