Big Beach is an American independent production company founded in 2004 by Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf, based in New York City. It is best known for their lower-budget comedy-drama films, including the 2006 film Little Miss Sunshine.
The company began when Turtletaub and Saraf co-produced the 2005 film Everything Is Illuminated. The new company then took over production duties on two films that had been developed by Turtletaub's previous production company, Deep River Studios: Duane Hopwood and Sherrybaby in 2005 and 2006.
In 2014, Big Beach launched a television division of the company that is headed by former IFC executive, Dan Pasternack. In 2015, the company opened a Los Angeles-based office that is headquartered next to their subsidiary, Beachside.
Big Beach has produced or co-produced the following films:
Third Gear Productions
