Averner Films is an independent production company dedicated to crafting visually powerful, emotionally resonant documentaries. Founded by brothers Alex and Joel Verner, we tell stories that challenge perspectives—whether through poetic explorations of art and light, deeply researched historical narratives, or unflinching looks at the human experience.
Our work includes the critically acclaimed Christy Brown: Self Portrait (RTÉ), featuring Saoirse Ronan, as well as documentaries for National Geographic, BBC, Sky, and CBC DOCS.
