Description

Fulwell Entertainment is a global entertainment company built from the merger of The SpringHill Company and Fulwell 73. We develop and produce premium content across television, film, digital, audio, and branded entertainment with one mission: to make things people love. Our work spans culture-defining series, groundbreaking documentaries, live events, and platform-shaping formats—all rooted in the belief that great storytelling earns attention, drives impact, and lives everywhere audiences do.

Recent projects include the Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash, The Kardashians (Hulu), Emmy-winning The Shop, Starting 5 (Netflix), Delta’s 100th Anniversary at The Sphere, The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl (Disney), Plastic Surgery Rewind (E! and Peacock), Top Boy (Netflix), Hustle (Netflix), and the LA 2028 Olympics handover ceremony featuring Tom Cruise. Fulwell is the right place if you’re ready to work hard on ambitious, creatively driven projects and want to grow in an environment that’s adapting with the industry - not chasing it. This is a company for people who like to be in it - hands on, sleeves rolled, and all the way engaged.

CORE BEHAVIOURS

These guide the ways we work together, make decisions, and bring our mission to life:

Make Things That People Love (And We Love to Make): Everything we do - on and off screen - should express the pride we take in our work and the respect we have for ourselves, our partners, our audiences, and our clients.
Be Intentionally Curious: Push boundaries, challenge historic thinking, and incorporate approaches from different industries, geographies, and eras. Venture into your unknown to discover and develop better practices.
Strive For Creative Excellence: Share your knowledge and resources generously. Celebrate successes and acknowledge failures as a team. Raise your hand when you're stuck or make a mistake.
Practice Active Inclusion: Welcome differences and honor the unique narrative of each person and community. Foster a company where cultures are celebrated and perspectives are broadened.
