Our Mission
Eurêka! Productions emerged in 1999 from the desire of its founders, France Choquette and Jean Roy, to establish a company that would promote openness to the world, education, thought, respect for differences and high-quality human relationships.
Two decades later, the company has set itself apart and built an enviable reputation. The richness and quality of its productions bear witness to the care that its managers put into cultivating relationships with highly dedicated partners. Together they have created an atmosphere that favours communication, idea development and creativity.
Eurêka!’s mission is to produce documentaries of impeccable quality in such diverse fields as the arts, history, society and science—in short, all fields of human endeavour.
Eurêka! Productions is constantly seeking to document our era by encouraging a wide audience to understand the challenges that our society faces. The company’s managers strive to apply their expertise to the production of high-quality works that will astonish, educate, entertain, challenge and move the audience.
In 2019, the Eurêka! family expanded with the arrival of a French team reflecting the same values as its own. Together, Eurêka! Productions and Caméra One meet the same desires for quality, authenticity and relevance.
