Narrativ Nation

What Narrativ Nation does

Narrativ Nation is a Brussels-based, privately held film and series production company (NARRATIV NATION SRL, company number BE 0607.928.395) founded in 2016 by childhood friends Benjamin Torrini (director) and Dylan Klass (producer). The company operates as a full-service production house offering four core service lines: delegated production (lead producer from concept to delivery), executive production (local production supervision in Belgium or abroad), coproduction with Belgian tax shelter financing, and specialized underwater cinematography. It produces content across five formats: TV series, feature films (long-métrages), short films (court-métrages), music clips, and performing arts productions, with a portfolio of 34+ documented projects.

The company's underlying technology is craft-based rather than platform-based: a curated network of 20+ directors, a comparable roster of screenwriters, and complete production crews across cinematography, sound, costume, makeup, and post-production. Specialized underwater filming capability (developed for Lites, AED, or natural underwater environments) provides a niche technical differentiator. The technology stack does not include proprietary software, APIs, or AI/ML tooling based on the available data.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and professional-services in nature. Narrativ Nation generates income as lead producer or executive producer on individual film, series, short film, documentary, clip, and stage projects, supplemented by coproduction fees and tax shelter advisory/structuring. Distribution and financing are anchored by recurring relationships with European public broadcasters (RTBF, France 2, France 3, France Télévisions Slash, BeTV, VRT Nu), premium platforms (Canal+, Amazon Originals), public film funds (Centre du Cinéma de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, SACD, screen.brussels, Région Grand-Est), and a network of European coproduction partners (Umedia, Kidam, 10.80 Films, Cinétévé, Astharté & Compagnie, Monkey Films, Augenschein Filmproduktion, Entre Chien et Loup, Farvak Production). Customer segments are dual-sided: filmmakers/authors seeking delegated production support, and external productions requiring executive production in Belgium.

• Astharté & Compagnie: French production company that co-produces Virage and Les Engagés XAOC with Narrativ Nation. Closely aligned in genre mix (fiction series and features) and broadcaster targeting (France Télévisions).
