About Us

Senza Pictures is an independent film, television and digital media development and production company based in New York City. Founded in 2000, Senza is dedicated to creating, producing and marketing original content for audiences worldwide. We work with talented and passionate filmmakers to bring meaningful and entertaining stories to life on screen and across multi media channels.

We focus on telling compelling stories with complex characters. Our current film slate includes comedy, drama, sci-fi adventure, and suspense. The company’s television and web division includes drama, sketch comedies, hosted talk shows, as well as an online lifestyle magazine for women. Senza also works with advertising agencies, record labels and marketing teams to create and produce original content for targeted audiences.
