Savage City

Our Mission

Audiences are hungry for authenticity.  


You don’t have to be a spy or a soldier or an astronaut – but you can tell when a show gets it right. You feel it. You get lost in the world. And you also know when it doesn’t. You may not be able to say exactly why, but we all sense the false notes.

Prestige storytelling needs to feel real. This is why we started Savage City.


My partners at Savage City are the most exceptional men I’ve ever met. They’re the real deal. They’ve worked in the world’s most challenging environments, doing impossible things, keeping the rest of us safe. They’re the guys you need if you want to get things done right. They also have wickedly good narrative instincts – and the stories they tell are better than fiction. From the instant we met, I knew I wanted to work with them.  


Between us, we have more than a century's worth of real-world operational experience. And we’re using this to create authentic, prestige productions. 


We’re operators. Creators. Visionaries. We’re Savage City.  


-Elizabeth Heider, Co-Founder
