Founded by filmmakers Elyse Steinberg, Josh Kriegman, and Eli Despres, EDGELINE FILMS specializes in documentary storytelling that combines cinematic craft with intimate access. Celebrated for balancing pathos with comedy, we find compelling human stories in unexpected places.

With offices in New York City and Los Angeles, we offer soup-to-nuts production services to support top directors and producers. As seasoned producers, we efficiently meet deadlines and control costs. As award-winning filmmakers we innovate to craft stories that command attention and ignite imagination.

Our award-winning portfolio includes the TCA Award-winning docuseries COUPLES THERAPY (Showtime/Paramount+), now in its fifth season and hailed by The New York Times as featuring "the richest depictions of human nature TV has produced in a long time." Our Gotham Award-winning JERROD CARMICHAEL REALITY SHOW (HBO) was praised by The Guardian as "the most astonishing, emotionally raw reality TV ever made" and "unlike anything ever seen on TV."

Our flagship feature film WEINER (IFC Films) won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and was shortlisted for the Academy Awards. Our feature documentary THE FIGHT (Magnolia Pictures) won the Special Jury Prize at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, and our most recent feature SPERMWORLD (FX/HULU) was called "Easily one of the best and most important films this year."

In collaboration with luminary talents like Kerry Washington, Jerrod Carmichael, Lance Oppenheim, and Andrew Rossi, we have built a track record of securing access to places cameras rarely go—from therapists' offices to Supreme Court prep sessions to the inner circles of public figures in crisis.

With films & series in production and development across major streaming platforms including Netflix, Hulu, and Paramount +, Edgeline continues to redefine the boundaries of documentary filmmaking.
