Who We Are

Les Raconteurs is the specialist agency dedicated to uncovering and transforming untold cultural and historical stories into world-class, multi-platform experiences.

By discovering overlooked narratives and packaging them for film, TV, gaming, exhibitions, and live experiences, we ensure timeless human (his)stories thrive in contemporary entertainment.

  • Story Acquisition & Licensing
  • Concept Development & Packaging
