The Idea Factory is a television production company that develops and produces award winning original non-scripted programming.

Founded in 2004 by industry vet Darryl Silver and headquartered in Van Nuys, California, The Idea Factory has produced many highly rated and critically endorsed shows, such as Bound for Glory, God or the Girl, Big Medicine, Half Pint Brawlers, The Other Side, Karaoke Mom’s, Looking for Love and Trade Off. We have close working relationships with TLC, A&E, Spike, History, ESPN, CMT, Logo, Bravo, Own, Lifetime, GAC, Discovery, Sundance, SyFy, Vh1, MTV, GSN, G4, Nat Geo, Travel Channel, Showtime, Style, Tru TV, BET, and Paramount, as well as many other networks and studios.

What sets us apart from our competitors is our way of finding and telling unique and honest stories. We never know where our next great idea is going to come from, but we are always on the lookout.

The Idea Factory has always been well known for true life, dramatic and lifestyle programming -- telling it like it is has been our cornerstone since we started. We believe that story and characters are most important in creating entertaining and emotionally moving shows.

As we enter our 8th year, there is no limit to what amazing programming The Idea Factory can produce, because we have the right leaders, the right resources and the “out of the box” sense to know talent when we see it.
