Squid Shack Studios

Squid Shack Studios is an emerging Kent‑based production company led by co‑founders Daniel Eycott and Syd Heather.

We’re more than a production company; we’re storytellers with a mission to connect communities through the power of film. We specialise in community‑driven storytelling, producing compelling documentaries, video podcasts, and narrative content.

Our work includes the award‑winning documentary Micropubs – The New Local, now streaming worldwide on Amazon, Tubi and GuideDoc, and will celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2025. Most recently, we secured one of four short film commissions for Screen South and Screen Ashford, and completed our first docudrama pilot series, The Recovery Rooms exploring addiction and recovery. 

Supported by Create South East and The Kent Foundation, we continue to expand our portfolio, and our unscripted slate includes several exciting one‑off documentaries exploring Coastal Cinemas, Special Educational Needs (SEN) and the Great British Pub.
