Blackfin

Founded in 2014 by Geno McDermott, Blackfin has quickly become an industry leader in premium nonfiction, tracking true talent, building series or specials around them, and delivering these packages to cable television networks, OTT and digital outlets. 

In 2017 alone, Blackfin produced 45 hours of television, including the critically acclaimed Finding Escobar's Millions (Discovery), I Am Homicide (ID), as well as the documentary My Perfect World: The Aaron Hernandez Storyfeaturing an unprecedented look at the Aaron Hernandez saga. In 2018, Blackfin has series premiering with History, Investigation Discovery, NatGeo Wild, Discovery and more, and projects in development with many other networks. 

Blackfin is the polar opposite of normality. All projects are approached with the mindset that traditional production rules do not apply.  It is in risking everything - and walking the fine line between unmatched success and failure – where the golden footage and storytelling lives. For Blackfin, the most compelling stories are served up raw with a dirty lens, some natural sunlight and drive to create a finished product that emerges as the first of its kind.
