The team aim to produce meaningful proactive and inspiring work in the areas of film, documentary and commercial productions. With an extensive network of incredible partners, Stone Soup offers clients with a complete service which ranges from initial conception, through to production, post-production and distribution.

This unique approach is what the team at Stone Soup live by and it has not changed since they began their journey back in 2013. Founded by four Canadians back in 2012, Stone Soup is based in Taipei, Taiwan where many of their crew and teams are local Taiwanese residents. Taiwan is an incredibly diverse country with so much to offer, and the company’s founders love the culture there and embrace it at every turn. From huge cities with sprawling sky scrapers and beach towns with single streets, to rainforests and jungles galore, even mountains and rivers – there isn’t one setting the Stone Soup team can’t find to shoot in on the beautiful island. Throughout the years, Stone Soup have thoroughly enjoyed working with teams or companies on realizing their shoots possibilities here with their extensive knowledge of Taiwan and the Asian region. However, one of the challenges that the team have faced daily has been getting crews into hard to reach areas of the island and sometimes language barriers with their clients and teams. The team are able to overcome this by breaking down these barriers with their local crews who work closely with Stone Soup on each and every production. When working with new staff or crew, Stone Soup only ask that individuals be themselves, be creative and bring 110% to the set. Whilst many industries have been impacted greatly by the uncertainty that Covid-19 has caused, Stone Soup have been fortunate that their work load has not slowed down. In February 2020, Taiwan closed its border and today there are no community cases of the virus which means the team has been able to go out shooting on a daily basis as they were in 2019. With a number of projects already in the pipeline, the future at Stone Soup is looking very exciting!
