Our brand is all about meaningful, high-impact storytelling, not just transactional content.
Inspired by the little-known term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings — Eucatastrophe Media Group was founded in 2025 by filmmaker, Zachariah Montgomery. While we develop and produce all kinds of media for a wide variety of clients, we are specialized in content and organizations that make a positive impact in our communities.
Tolkien coined the term for a “large-scale turn toward the good.”
Good & True
(𝐲𝐨𝐨-𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐚𝐬-𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐡-𝐟𝐞𝐞) — “EU” the Greek prefix for “good” or “true.”
The philosophy of Eucatastrophe is of awe, grace, and triumph — ultimately reinforcing a belief in something greater and a call to action even in the face of hopelessness. In 1944, at the height of the second world war, J.R.R. Tolkien writes — "Tragedy is the true form of drama, its highest function. But its opposite exists. Since we do not possess a word for it, I will call it EUCATASTROPHE."
The "good" catastrophe, with inherent connection to an optimistic view on the unfolding of events in the narrative of the world. When all seems lost. A joyous turn. A catch of the breath, a beat and lifting of the heart. The ultimate miracle of human fate and happy endings.
Video + Docu-Journalism
In 2026, Eucatastrophe will be expanding a new department into global affairs, documentary essays and video-journalism. Focusing on under-reported coverage and stories that deserve both wider perspective and a more hopeful view on the unfolding of events of the world.
The Eucatastrophe Media Group is actively looking for stories around the world, that demonstrate this philosophy and celebration of the human spirit. Contact us now, and tell us your story.
