Our History:
Founded by high-school best friends Michelle Martin and Frank McGowan (originally as Bad Pony Productions), Bad Pony Media began producing thematic not-for-profit short films, educational videos, and live event coverage in 2008, before expanding its operations to empower people living with mental health issues and disabilities in our community to gain real-world on-set experience and essential skills in filmmaking and the creative arts.
Now, in 2025, as we look to the future, the Bad Pony Media brand has evolved to include its own production house, podcast suite, and television studios, which works hard to deliver a dynamic and exciting range of multi-platform content for the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC, and HBO. With offices in London, Los Angeles, and New York, we are proud to continue working with an exemplary team on content that matters—across all genres, including but not limited to: series drama, factual entertainment, documentary, children’s programming, feature film, comedy shorts, music videos, and much, much more. Our aim is to proudly showcase - both at home and around the world, the people, places, culture, history, and heritage of a modern, diverse, and eclectic Scotland.
