Highmore's affiliated production firm, Alfresco Pictures, hopes to produce scripted series for television, cable, subscription services, and international co-productions projects that "have a broader goal or message behind them," the company's founders stated in August 2018. "I hope "Alfresco," aside from being a play on my real name Alfred, contributes more to a feeling of renewed, communal openness that is representative of the company's stories." "I wanted to open Alfresco out of a natural desire to be involved in a greater way in the industry." I've always had the urge to do other things. And that, I guess, has evolved into not only wanting to write or direct or acting in, but also becoming a producer and helping others tell their stories."
Highmore will co-write and produce Homesick, a dark comedy on development at WarnerMedia, which will explore mental stability, body image, toxic masculinity, and what it means to defy "traditional" gender stereotypes in August.
