The Light Surgeons is a boutique production company that specialises in creative content in the form of video production, live performances and installation based projects. The company was founded in 1995 by artist and filmmaker Christopher Thomas Allen along with a group of other like minded media artists and film makers from London. Since then we have become an established creative studio on the world stage, developing new forms of cross-disciplinary practice through the fusion of film production, animation, motion design and the application of creative code.

From our studio in East London we have nurtured a wide network of different creative practitioners that work in the complementary fields of audio visual production and post-production, from design and art direction to film, animation and the development of custom software.

We work in collaboration with a broad network of award winning documentary filmmakers, animators, designers and software developers to produce a multitude of ground breaking projects that have been exhibited and toured internationally.

Creative communication and story telling is at the very heart of what we do, from our self-initiated art projects to working to a client’s brief. We pride ourselves on producing both artistic and commercial projects that inform and entertain, always ensuring that the idea and concept behind the work dictates our processes.

We intend to continue to push the boundaries between art and design with our work and bring our almost 20 years of experience in the creative industries to every project we undertake.
