MEET THE High Science® TEAM!
High Science® is an entertainment media company first, built around powerful storytelling and unforgettable characters. The brand was founded by Ed Leclere and David McKillop, a two-time Emmy Award-winning executive producer and one of the key architects behind hit series like Duck Dynasty, Storage Wars, Bates Motel, Pawn Stars, American Pickers, and Ice Road Truckers.
Together, they saw a world where a single natural plant had been buried under decades of stigma, fear, and misinformation. Rather than lecture people, they chose to do what great television does best: put real human stories on screen. High Science® exists to shine a spotlight on the innovators, patients, creators, and communities who are changing the landscape of plant science and cannabis culture, one honest story at a time.
With so much controversy surrounding something as simple as a plant, we decided to lean straight into the challenge. High Science® aims to educate in a way that feels entertaining, cinematic, and human. This is a new frontier for change, and our hope is that audiences not only enjoy the show, but also walk away feeling more informed, more open-minded, and more connected to the people behind the movement.
As we wrap the first season of the High Science® TV series, our focus is already on what comes next: more stories, deeper education, and bigger conversations. Backed by an experienced crew and led by a team with decades of top-tier television experience, we bring real storytelling craft, visual polish, and editorial rigor to every project we touch.
If you have a project, story, or world you believe belongs on screen and want to explore it with a team that lives at the intersection of entertainment and plant science, we would love to talk. Reach out to us, and let’s see where the next High Science® story can go.
