Stories that change the game.

Twin Pines is a storytelling company built to bring America's overlooked middle to the world.

What we do

We develop and produce scripted and unscripted film, television and episodic stories featuring the American Heartland, often from the point of view of sports teams and their fans.

We grew up in places like St. Louis, Kansas City, Cleveland and Chicago. Where we're from, a team isn't something you just watch. It's something you're born into, with a loyalty passed down through generations. In the Heartland, sports fandom runs deep, shapes our identity and has become a language of belonging.

Because sports fandom is so deeply woven into the culture, we see it as a natural starting point from which to tell a range of scripted and unscripted stories rooted in unconventional narratives. Sometimes these are stories about the players, but more often about the people in the stands, the families who pass a team down, and the towns that rise and fall with every season.

And we bring a deep bench of traditional and emerging creative talent to bear on original stories ranging from the intimate to the epic, rooted in the place we call home. They're stories built to travel globally, because we believe a sense of belonging is universal.

Our mission

Refresh the story on the Heartland and redefine what a premium, popular sports story can be.

Pull up a chair

We don't plan on doing this alone. Sports proved something we already knew: people come back not for what they're watching, but for who they're watching it with. A hit fades after a season, but a community lasts.

For too long, the middle of the country was treated as somewhere to pass through. Flyover country was never empty, though. You just had to land the plane, grab a beer and stay a while.
