Edge West Productions (also known as Edge West) is an American film and television production company founded by Peabody Award winning producer/director/writer, Philip J Day.
The company was formed in 2006 to better facilitate Day's status as a filmmaker. For more than a decade, Day has been an active producing partner with National Geographic Channel, Public Broadcast Service, Discovery, The History Channel, TLC, BBC Television, Channel Four (TV UK), and NHK Japan. Some of the collaborators on projects include writer, producer Aidan Pickering (son of Sir Edward Pickering (journalist)), director of photography Wes Dorman, 1st assistant director Jeremy Gilbreath, visual effects producer Calder Greenwood, writer Aaron Even, production manager Erin Shulsinger, and production designer Clare Brown.
Today, Edge West specializes in making high-end, TV shows with elaborate and dramatic recreations about a wide range of subjects. They have produced multiple films and series since it was founded in 2006. Edge West's first film The Real Roswell has been repeated regularly since it premiered in 2007. Tunnel to a Lost World was voted 'Best Documentary of the Year' by an audience poll in Turkey, the country where the film was made. In 2009 The Skyjacker That Got Away was the best rated program ever on the long-running series 'Undercover History' for National Geographic.
Edge West has produced six TV shows for National Geographic Channel, three of which aired in 2011 and three which aired in 2012 . Edge West was also delighted to have been asked to produce a visual extravaganza for TED (conference). Four camera crews filmed in Long Beach and Palm Springs, at the remarkable 2012 TED (conference). The footage is being used for a special broadcast by NHK (Japan) and for a four-minute sizzle for TED on their web site. Edge West produced a one-hour special for Discovery Channel's Curiosity strand which aired on December 9, 2012.
