About Breaklight

Led by veteran director and producer, Dan Johnstone, Breaklight Pictures launched in 2020 with Steve Michaels’ formerly titled, Asylum Entertainment Group, now Pantheon Media Group. 

​

Each, and every, Breaklight project delivers a premium look, a unique feel, exquisite execution, and a distinct emotional approach. The distinct voice we bring to each project ensures you know it’s a Breaklight joint before you’re past the title sequence. 

​

Below the surface and straight to the heart. Our goal is to make you think, react, and engage with subjects or characters in ways you never have before. We like to say we’ll give you a front row seat to a world you’ve never seen before, or a backstage pass to a world you’ve only dreamed of entering. 

 

Some of our shows include the number one rated documentary on Apple TV+, COWBOY CARTEL; SECRETS AND SPIES: INSIDE THE CIA on Hulu; TOXIC with Elizabeth Chambers for Warner Bros. Discovery, as well as directing an upcoming installment of UNTOLD for Netflix. Breaklight also produced HILLSONG: A MEGACHURCH EXPOSED, AMERICAN CARTEL, and DETECTIVE DIARIES for WB Discovery. 

​

We love the big, the layered, the complex, and the tricky.  From megachurches, to homicides, Cartels, to money laundering, and the looming dangers of ai, the bigger the story the better we can tell it.
