creative studio.
Unicorn Studios is a frontier creative studio, storytelling and technology. We make films and recurring series for technology companies, starting with the founders, their choices, and the people their product serves.
THE FOUNDING TEAM
Roman Medjanov
Founder, director & producer
rockbridge.ioA founder leads
every production.
Henry Finn and Roman Medjanov are directors and producers with combined experience making films for Salesforce, Spotify, Nike, Google, Samsung, Kia, and other global brands. Producer Jy-Ah Min brings campaign and series work for Netflix, Samsung, Kia, FX, and Drake. Sam Gollestani is an Emmy-nominated producer. Their feature-film work includes raising production financing and selling completed films to distributors.
One of the founders stays close to each project through story development, production, and the edit. A trusted crew scales to the work. That continuity helps the finished film reflect the people and convictions we encountered in the first conversation.

Spend time with the people behind the product.
We ask why the company exists, which decisions define its work, and what customers can see or experience for themselves. Those details shape the language, visual approach, and scenes.
A shoot should keep giving.
The hero film, social edits, and supporting assets are planned together before the call sheet.
Speak directly to the people making it.
You work with the director and the crew responsible for your project, throughout the production.
Films, a monthly studio, or a media company.
A company can commission a film, a Capture Day, or a campaign with its own dates and deliverables. A monthly studio partnership or the patent-pending system for an AI-driven media company can follow.
Brand & founder films
A brand film, founder profile, or company mini-documentary shows the people, the product, and the decisions behind the company.
The delivery is a finished film with captions and the shorter versions named in the proposal, for a homepage, a launch, a sales introduction, or recruiting.
Brand & founder filmsCustomer & product videos
Customer stories, demonstrations, explainers, and sales FAQs give buyers a working example and evidence they can check.
Sales and onboarding teams use the individual answers in follow-up, on the product page, and when a new customer starts.
Customer & product videosSocial content & original series
Educational clips, expert interviews, original campaigns, and series episodes give the company a program its audience can follow through the year.
Each piece has a subject, a platform version, and a place on the release calendar.
Social content & original seriesPublishing & distribution
Clipping, account publishing, agreed partner placements, campaign pages, and sales handoffs put the work on the accounts the company owns.
The scope names the publisher, the channels, the review dates, and how an inquiry reaches the sales team.
Publishing & distributionStudio partnership
The monthly package includes narrative direction, a quarterly shoot day, 13 agreed assets, platform versions, captions and transcripts, and an AI-visibility report against two named competitors.
The proposal states the monthly fee. The opening term is three months, then 30-day notice.
Studio partnershipStory Engine
Story Engine is the patent-pending system for building, launching, and maintaining an AI-driven media company, covering the audience and editorial model, original programming, channels and distribution, and ongoing production.
Media Company in a Box is the Story Engine service for the client's CMO: a working version of every capability, with client review, publication approval, source checks, ownership, access, and export in the basic setup, and upgrades that add capacity and finer controls.
An engagement can license an operating system for the client team or run as a managed operation. The proposal states the scope.
Story Engine Media Company in a BoxOne director through the frame.
A company comparing production partners will see traditional production agencies, freelance marketplaces, and social clipping shops. A traditional agency often sells a retainer that locks an annual contract. A freelance marketplace matches individual contractors. A social clipping shop cuts existing footage into short posts.
Director and director of photography
Henry Finn directs and shoots the same project, so one person stewards the story from strategy through the frame.
He has spent twenty years behind the camera and in strategic planning for brand storytelling.
Human production and AI-assisted workflows
Directors, producers, and crew make the films. The Narrative Sprint includes an AI-visibility baseline against two named competitors, and the studio partnership includes that report each month.
Story Engine plans creative production and AI-assisted workflows together for an AI-driven media company.
Four situations match the current offers.
Budget, access to the people on camera, a responsible buyer, timing, and open production capacity still decide whether an engagement fits.
Dreamforce exhibitors and sponsors
Exhibitors, sponsors, and AppExchange partners who need founder or executive capture around a San Francisco event.
Capture Day puts a director-DP and kit on site for one talking-head master and five platform cuts, delivered within seven days. Ask the studio for the day rate.
Agencies that need a crew
Agencies and producers who need a director-DP under their own client relationship.
The crew works under the agency's client instructions. Ask the studio for the day rate and the minimum.
Agency productionFunded startups preparing a launch
Startups preparing a product launch, rebrand, or Q4 event.
The Narrative Sprint delivers a narrative document, message architecture, film treatment, and an AI-visibility baseline in two weeks. Ask the studio for the fee.
A studio partnership, a defined film, or a five-page Launch Site can follow the Sprint. Each one is written up in a proposal.

The Salesforce brand film is still in rotation thirteen years after delivery, with a tenfold return in its first year. The BLACKPINK × Spotify launch produced thirteen deliverables from one hour of artist access. The Three Hearts Rum launch film is for Johnny Depp's brand.

ContactSprint, then production, then publishing
When the story still needs a decision, the Narrative Sprint comes first: two weeks and about six hours of client time for a narrative document, message architecture, film treatment, and an AI-visibility baseline.
Production follows the treatment, and publishing moves the agreed versions onto the named accounts.
If the narrative document is unusable at handover, the existing refund promise applies, and the review process is defined in the proposal.

On a Capture Day, the talking-head master and five platform cuts are delivered within seven days.
