About Us

Established in 1988 by Michael Hewitt and Dermot Lavery, award winning, Belfast-based DoubleBand Films is one of the most vital and influential production companies in Northern Ireland.

With its strong links to the BBC, RTE and Channel Four, a reputation for excellence and a recent move into the world of TV drama, DoubleBand is also one of the leading documentary companies in the UK.

Sustained by a long track record in all forms of factual programmes, our productions have encompassed a wide range of themes, including social history, human interest, science & medicine, sport, music, nostalgia, investigation and observational documentary.

As we look to the future and move into new genres, we plan to build on our reputation amongst broadcasters as producers of carefully crafted programmes which cover subjects we are genuinely passionate about.
