Twenty years behind the visual effects of Inception, The Dark Knight and Star Wars. Now Fishwell Films makes original stories — and turns writers' scripts into pitch visuals investors can see.
The pedigree
Before Fishwell Films, founder George Zwier spent two decades making the visual effects behind some of cinema's biggest films, at Animal Logic, Weta Digital, Double Negative, ILM and The Third Floor, and supervising for directors including Mike Leigh and Shane Black.
Stories written, designed and produced in-house.

For writers & producers
Investors don't read scripts — they look at pictures. We take your screenplay and build the visual pitch around it: who your characters are, where the story lives, and how key scenes will play on screen. It's the workflow we built for our own films, now available for yours.
01
Your script is read scene by scene to identify characters, locations and the key story beats.
02
Character looks and location plates are designed — and you approve them before anything moves on.
03
Key scenes are staged as cinematic frames with consistent characters, framing and continuity.
04
A locked set of visuals ready for your deck — with a moving teaser available on request.
FROM THE SCRIPT The robot is in a room with a series of vertical glass units. The units each contain a body of humanoid but otherworldly forms.
Now available for your production
Two decades of studio filmmaking, and the pipeline we built for our own films, are now here to bring your production to life.
We're proud to present our work for Girl Viking and Sampson Pictures on The Realm, and we congratulate them on the reel's success at Cannes, where it drew interest from numerous major investors and studios.

Script beside screen →Everything runs on our own studio hardware. Your unproduced script is never uploaded to third-party AI services.
Nothing is locked without your sign-off, so the visuals match the story in your head.
We use this process to make our own films. You get storytellers, not just a software output.
THE STUDIO
Established in 2025, Fishwell Films is an independent studio blending traditional cinematic storytelling with AI-assisted production. We make original films, and help other storytellers show the world what their scripts could become.
