Dish Towel Pictures
Ordinary days make good stories.
An independent film studio for stories about the extraordinary hiding inside ordinary life — where the cape is a dish towel, the rocket is the family car, and the hero is whoever decided to show up.
What we make.
We make films about the biggest things that happen in the smallest rooms — a kitchen at breakfast, a car on the way to practice, a doorway at bedtime. Animated or live-action, comedy or heartbreak, we’re not loyal to a format or a genre. We’re loyal to that feeling.
Our stories are built to work on more than one level at once — the thing on the surface, and the quieter, truer thing underneath it that you only catch the second time. No winking. No talking down. We trust the audience to meet us.
We make one thing at a time. We make it like it matters.
Why “Dish Towel.”
The name comes from a dish towel. In our first film, an eight-year-old ties one around his dad’s shoulders and decides he’s a superhero — and for a while, the whole world agrees.
That’s the company we wanted to be: the one that takes the towel seriously. The one that knows the difference between pretending and believing, and builds the whole movie on the second one.

Let’s talk.
Dish Towel Pictures is a young studio. If you’re a financier, distributor, or studio partner who’d like to read the full Rocket Robpackage — screenplay, production bible, and deck — we’d love to hear from you.
