Sandpaper Films Aims for Deep Dives in Upcoming Documentaries
Sandpaper Films makes documentaries, aiming for the impact of a tabloid with the in-depth reporting of a newspaper.
They're currently working on documentaries about Taylor Swift and a woman named Karen Read.
Their film about a marriage that ended in murder was a big hit on Netflix.
The company is growing and wants to create smart, independent documentaries that look at how people fit into society.
They also try to find stories before they become mainstream topics, like they did with Andrew Tate's story.
They're not interested in being bought or getting investment from other companies.
