Manor House Estate, nestled in the secluded beauty of Cat Cay, Bahamas, is a legacy of elegance, creativity, and collaboration. Established in 1925 and lovingly maintained by the Devaney family, it began as a private retreat for filmmakers, actors, and visionaries. Over the years, this creative sanctuary evolved into a full-fledged production company, bringing together talent, directors, and producers to craft films that spark conversation and raise awareness of critical global issues. Today, Manor House continues to inspire, offering a serene haven where impactful storytelling is born.
