Tourist With A Typewriter Ltd. is an independent documentary production company based in London. Dedicated to documentary film and photography projects, Tourist works with other artists, writers and cultural groups to follow and document the movement of people and ideas.

Tourist With A Typewriter Ltd. was founded in 2004 by Saeed Taji Farouky and Gareth Keogh in order to tell the stories that mainstream news media and film studios were not telling. Their documentaries look behind the obvious sensationalism of daily news asking how individual lives fit into the bigger picture, and what happens to ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
