How we work
How we make things.
The method
We keep things small: two to five characters, a setting you'd recognise from the news or from a few years out, and enough room for them to really talk. Most of our stories sit between the recent past and the near future, and we go further only when one needs it.
One idea, three forms
An idea can move between forms. We cut a film at nine minutes for festivals and twelve for our channel, and sometimes work the same idea into a fifty-minute play for the stage.

Questions
What kind of films and plays does Teòmach Productions make?
Intimate, idea-driven shorts and stage pieces set in a recognisable recent-past-to-near-future, about people colliding with social and technological change — small casts, sharp dialogue, shot raw.
How can I get involved or work with you?
We're open to writers, directors, actors, and crew who like this kind of work. Tell us what you do via the work-with-us form.
What inspires your work?
The messy present — technology and society colliding faster than anyone can think it through — told at human scale; in the lineage of Black Mirror, Philip K. Dick, and idea-driven theatre.
Where can I watch your films?
Nothing's released yet; films will go up on our YouTube channel. Subscribe or join the newsletter to catch the first.
Are you looking for actors or crew?
Yes, for upcoming projects — get in touch through the work-with-us form.
Can you bring a play to our venue or festival?
We're developing stage versions for Fringe-scale spaces; enquire about hosting.
Who is behind Teòmach Productions?
Heather and Tom Inglis. They write and develop the stories together, and Tom produces them.
