Whirl Entertainment is dedicated to fostering creative collaboration while leveraging the latest technology to produce entertaining and informative content for television & web.

Some of our original productions include:
“Food for Thought: The story of what we eat” – From cacao farming in the jungles of Belize to cheese making in a small town in Italy, Food For Thought explores the history and science behind the foods we love.
“Astoria” – A comedy-drama series about young creative people trying to make it in NYC, well almost.
“The Science Behind” – From recording music to flying airplanes, famous and not-so-famous people explain the science behind their jobs.
“Curious Places” – A search for curious places with extraordinary claims to fame — to the highest, lowest, largest, furthest, most extreme and most unique places. It’s the ultimate road trip in an unpredictable pursuit of the most peculiar places in America.
