A little
trouble.
Stories often begin with a little trouble: an ordinary person in a complicated situation makes a choice, crosses a line, or encounters something they can’t explain. What starts small becomes something much larger.
A Little Trouble Pictures is drawn to those stories—and to stories that cause a little trouble themselves. Unexpected concepts, complicated characters, and turns that lead somewhere unfamiliar. Working across crime, thriller, horror, and drama, we look for something that unsettles expectations.
