Manor House Estate, traces its roots back to the Manor House Estate, nestled within the serene beauty of Cat Cay, Bahamas. Built in 1925, Manor House has fostered fellowship, love, and creativity for the family and guests during the Devaneys’ 21 years of ownership.
Mr. Devaney’s heart led him to support films with purpose and meaning. He has welcomed producers, directors, actors, writers, and distributors to the property, connecting the creatives towards their common goals. This intimate haven evolved into our film studio, blending artistic collaboration with a mission-driven focus.
