The Team
Companies Building America is developed by Kilroy AR in collaboration with award-winning producers, filmmakers and media professionals with experience delivering documentary projects for international organisations, global brands and premium media platforms.
Peter de Vries
Founder, Kilroy AR
I develop documentary-led media platforms and global campaigns that connect organisations, institutions and audiences through high-impact editorial storytelling.
My work focuses on creating integrated publishing and documentary ecosystems around defining moments, combining film production, editorial development and strategic partnerships into cohesive international programmes.
Through Kilroy AR, I collaborate with leading creative, media and institutional partners to develop premium documentary initiatives that celebrate innovation, leadership and long-term impact.
Marlon Wolff
Co-developer
Marlon Wolff co-founded TBD Media Group in 2015 and helped build it into an international business media operation across London, New York, Berlin and Frankfurt.
He founded Ingenious Britain and was a co-ideator of Small Business Saturday UK, now the country’s largest small-business campaign.
His documentary work includes a global campaign focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, produced with leading international organisations and in partnership with Reuters Plus.
Marlon is also a playwright and novelist, which is why his interviews are structured rather than scripted.
David Betteridge
Creative Oversight
I have spent more than 25 years creating award-winning documentary films, cinematic brand stories and long-form campaigns for global brands, media organisations and international institutions.
My work has taken me to more than 80 countries, leading productions that combine cinematic storytelling, creative direction and high-end documentary filmmaking across a wide range of industries and cultures.
For Companies Building America, I provide senior creative oversight, helping ensure every film meets the cinematic, narrative and production standards expected of a premium documentary series published on Forbes.
