History Wasn't Meant to Stay in a Classroom.

At August Media, we go where the stories happened. Into ancient cities, remote landscapes, archaeological sites, and places few people ever get to see. Founded by historian and archaeologist Dr. Matthew D. C. Larsen, we combine world-class scholarship, extraordinary access, and cinematic storytelling to bring the people, places, and events of the Bible and early Christianity to life with historical depth and authenticity. Our stories are designed to captivate anyone interested in history, faith, adventure, travel, culture, and discovery.

Extraordinary Stories. Endless Possibilities.

We're building a growing library of premium original entertainment around some of the most fascinating people, places, and events in history. Productions like Life of Paul and Cities of the First Christians take audiences on extraordinary journeys through the ancient world, combining real discovery, remarkable locations, and compelling human stories. Beyond our documentary series, we're developing feature film, publishing, and other creative opportunities that can bring these stories to audiences around the globe.

But our vision goes far beyond the screen. Through original YouTube programming, social media, and newsletters, we're building a growing community of people who share our passion for discovery. We're developing August Academy to bring these stories into classrooms and homes through premium educational courses, while curated travel and immersive experiences will offer opportunities to explore these remarkable places firsthand.

What makes August Media different is how all these pieces come together. A single story can become a documentary, a film, a book, a course, a journey, or an unforgettable live experience—each building on the others, reaching new audiences, and creating new opportunities for discovery. Our ambition is to build an enduring library of original content, reach millions of people around the world, and tell stories that entertain, inspire faith, spark curiosity, and make a lasting difference.

Come with us. History is waiting.
