About The Farm
The Farm is a British film and television post-production studio serving scripted drama, factual entertainment, documentaries, comedy and independent features. Founded in Soho in 1998 by Nicky Sargent and Vikki Dunn, the business provides creative picture and sound services for UK broadcasters, international streaming platforms and independent producers. Its current operations are based in London and Cardiff.
Picture, sound and delivery
The studio supports productions from offline editorial through finishing and final delivery. Editorial can take place within its facilities, through hybrid arrangements or remotely. Picture finishing combines Avid Symphony and Autodesk Flame online editing with Baselight colour grading, supporting HD and UHD productions and both SDR and HDR deliverables. Its grading work spans television, streaming and theatrical projects.
Audio services include sound editorial, sound design, tracklay, voiceover, ADR and re-recording mixing. Supported formats range from stereo and surround sound to Dolby Atmos for home entertainment and theatrical exhibition. These capabilities allow picture and sound work to be coordinated through the finishing process.
Through its location-services operation, The Shed, The Farm also provides fixed-rig recording, location capture and dailies media management. On-set data backup, archiving and logging extend that support to productions generating substantial volumes of footage. Technical mastering and quality control cover broadcast, streaming and cinema delivery formats, including AS-11, MXF, ProRes, IMF and DCP.
Company history
The business developed from a Soho post house into a wider network of facilities and production partnerships. Picture Shop acquired The Farm Group in 2019, and its facilities subsequently operated within Streamland Media. A 2025 carve-out restored The Farm brand to its London and Cardiff operations.
In September 2026, the business secured long-term investment from Rex Brown Capital to support its independent development. Its work continues across both scripted and unscripted production, combining editorial infrastructure, specialist finishing talent and technical delivery services for projects intended for broadcast, streaming and theatrical audiences.
