Where The Rubber Meets The Road
At Spike Productions we are curious and sincerely desire to understand things that concern the well-being of our planet, especially, if by understanding, we can change an outcome for the better. Our mission is to find out the what, how and why behind a natural event and pull it all together in an informative documentary. We seek answers, interview experts and consolidate resources to produce a compelling account that scientifically presents what happened, to better identify positive future outcomes.
At Spike Productions, we understand that there are experts out there who are delighted to share their knowledge with others. They are our invaluable resource to help us both uncover the truth and understand how it applies to our future.
If you need to know, we want to know too and are inspired to help you find the answers and weave it into a documentary (shorter or longer), so others will understand as well. Let’s chat. Brainstorming consultations are both motivational, essential and free.
