What Coffee & TV does

Coffee & TV is a global creative studio operating in post-production services for film, television, streaming, live sports broadcast, music, and commercial advertising clients. The studio's service lines are organised into four practices: VFX & Finishing, Colour, Design Studio, and Film & TV, addressing the principal technical and creative stages of finishing moving-image work. The business is delivered across a tri-city footprint spanning London, New York, and Los Angeles, which collectively constitute the primary English-language post-production market.

The studio's commercial proposition rests on senior craft practitioners — colourists, VFX supervisors, and designers — delivering finishing work on individual productions rather than licensing technology or running a software platform. Revenue is generated through project-based engagements of varying scale, with named recent credits spanning Netflix (streaming), F1 and Sky Sports (live sports broadcast), Kylie (music touring), and Mobil and JME (consumer advertising). This mix of end-markets provides diversification across industry cycles at the cost of project-lumpy revenue recognition.

Coffee & TV operates as part of a group structure that includes Residence Pictures as a subsidiary, extending the parent's footprint beyond pure post-production services into production company capability. The group published a 2024 Sustainability Policy, formalising environmental commitments relevant to enterprise procurement processes. No disclosed revenue, headcount, funding, or financial metrics are present in the available data.
