Hyke Inc develops and produces prestige historical and literary films — working with co-production and distribution partners to bring ambitious, internationally minded projects to the screen. Our subject is the collision of faith, power, and history in the European past, rendered with fidelity and cinematic weight.
From primary-source research to a finished film — the whole arc of a serious project, held under one roof.
Features and limited series built from primary-source research through to packaged script — original screenplays and adaptations of significant literary material. Serious historical subjects, treated with the gravity they deserve.
We produce our properties in partnership with co-producers, financiers, and distributors, structuring projects for the international theatrical and festival market. We originate and shepherd, and we build the right team around each film.
We acquire and develop select literary and film properties with care — building a considered slate of story assets meant to be made, not merely held.
Hyke Inc is a Philadelphia-based film and intellectual-property company. Our premise is simple: a story with clear rights and serious craft is a lasting asset — something to be developed, produced, and stewarded with patience across years, not chased as disposable content.
We work at the intersection of prestige historical film and literary adaptation, with a particular eye for the European past — faith, power, and the making of the modern world.
