For artists, makers, & freelance creatives

Short films that reveal your creative process — and why it matters

Studio Stories is a StoryLab for independent artists, craftspeople and freelance creatives who want to share their work — not just the finished product, but the process behind it.

We co-create short films that show your studio in action, reveal your motivations, and help audiences connect with what you make on a deeper level.

Whether you’re preparing for an exhibition, launching a new collection, or simply want to document your creative practice, a Studio Story helps people understand and value what you do.

At the heart of every StoryLab is creative discovery — not just a film shoot.

We meet with you and the people who matter most to your work, to discover meaningful stories and surface hidden gems. These conversations often spark new insights, offerings, or directions — and together we shape a fresh narrative that reflects who you are, and where you’re going.

What’s your story?

How a Studio Stories StoryLab works for you:

  • We spend time with you in your studio or workshop — wherever the making happens.

  • Through a relaxed, collaborative interview, we explore what drives your practice and what your work means to you.

  • We film you, your voice, your hands, your tools, your process — the details, the quiet moments that most people never see.

  • We craft a short film you can use on your website, share with clients, galleries, funders, or audiences — and keep as a time capsule of your practice.

Why StoryLabs matters

People don’t just buy art and commission work

— they buy into the story of the maker.

Studio Stories give audiences a window into your world:

  • We connect with you & your practice
