BACKGROUND

The company is founded by musician, writer and director Richard Evans, working collaboratively with award-winning producers, artists and technicians from music, theatre, literature, television and film.

We create original content based on future visions, human stories and global themes for audiences seeking intelligent entertainment and thought-provoking content. Our projects include smartphone apps, immersive experiences, video content, live concerts and music releases.

The CSM team works closely with scientists and science communicators to embed science into the development of high quality productions that explore themes such as climate change, virology and artificial intelligence. From developing abstract data visualisations using NASA climate information to modelling pandemics with virology experts, we are adept at developing new ways to embed science into creative projects for stage and screen.

Our projects are a hub for innovative production techniques, working with artists, scientists, educators and innovators to pilot new storytelling and performance methods, and to develop the next generation of creative media talent.

Cold Star Media is trained in carbon literacy and our productions meet the albert sustainability standard.

Our company development, studio facilities and productions are supported by awards from Arts Council England and Creative UK, as well as a partnership with the University of Salford at MediaCityUK.
