A director who writes, and a small bench that ships.
Unicorn Studios is a director-led studio working across film, web and monthly marketing: the person who writes your narrative is the person operating the camera and sitting in the edit. His story →
Crew scales per project from a vetted bench. Two concurrent productions is the ceiling, deliberately, because it is the only way the person you hired stays on your job. The Story Engine runs on the bench and its playbooks, which is why it scales when the director's calendar does not.
How we work
The story gets decided before the shoot
The narrative does the long-term work, and the film is how it reaches people. We will not shoot a story nobody has decided on, because that is how expensive footage becomes unused footage.
One shoot, planned for many outputs
Deliverables are decided before the call sheet. Framing, lighting and blocking are chosen so a single day yields the hero cut and every derivative underneath it.
Tools stay behind the camera
We use modern production tooling for scheduling, versioning and format work. It is a reason we are fast, not a reason to hire us, and it never touches the part of the job that requires judgement.
Small, and staying that way
Two campaigns at once, crew paid on time, no layer of account management between you and the work. The next hire here is an editor, not a salesperson.
Named credits as director and DP. The Salesforce film is still in rotation; the BLACKPINK × Spotify campaign came off one hour of artist access. Full reel and case files on the work page.
