Horstone Focus Studios engineers visceral, high-stakes cinema - specialising in exceptionally raw, character driven narratives that refuse to compromise.

Established in April 2026 as a Screenplay Studio, we partner with independent filmmakers and production companies to translate groundbreaking storytelling into hardened visual life.

We value high-stakes and suspense in realistic storytelling, focusing on exceptional narratives affecting ordinary characters.

HFS’ upcoming survival thriller short film, The Mascot Margin, has Tristan Spohn (Stranger Things, FBI) and Andrew Lawden (TopBoy, EastEnders) attached for the lead roles, and Cinematographer Daniel Everitt-Lock (Prime Video, HBO) attached as DOP.

Our long-term mission is to discover and champion unrepresented voices through our Executive Packaging Unit, launching soon for short-form screenplays under 15 minutes.
