ABOUT US

ROBBTAWN is more than just a production company founded by Charlie Robb and Douglas Tawn:

It is an idea. A vision. A way of life.

But primarily it's a production company founded by Charlie Robb and Douglas Tawn.

Robb and Tawn met while studying at Cambridge University in 2014. Since then, they have written and performed a slew of live comedy shows in London and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

They cut their teeth in filmmaking while living together in London, creating online sketches and short films for the internet/worldwide web.

Now well into their prime, Robb and Tawn have written several TV pilot and feature film scripts. They are working closely with other production companies to develop their own, personal TV and Radio ideas. Their short film Séance was nominated for Best English Short Film at the British Short Film Awards in 2023, as well appearing at London Independent Film Festival and Copenhagen Short Film Festival. They have recently completed filming their debut feature film, Loner, which is currently in post-production.
