THE STUDIO
5618 STUDIOS
"We make stories that leave a long lasting immpression".
WHO WE ARE
BUILD AROUND THE STORY.
We’re a brand-new studio, we look to bring original new ways to tell long lasting stories through new and engaging techniques. Our inaugural projects ‘Entrapment and The Forerunner Series’ will seek to connect audiences via its relatable characters and their hardships.
The Forerunner: USA will look to document the beauty of every state which makes up the USA and to speak to the individuals that occupy them, while The Forerunner: UK will look into the historic county's that have helped inspire the fantasy genre.
We are a small, focused team, deliberately so that every project we undertake gets our full attention, our full craft and our full commitment to doing it properly however long that takes.
HOW WE WORK
NARRATIVE FIRST, ALWAYS.
The first question we ask at the start of every project is the same: “What makes this different and engaging?”
5618 Studios is dedicated to creating emotionally filled, narrative driven stories that leave a long-lasting impression through new and engaging ways.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
01
STORY OVER SPECTACLE
We are not interested in new flashy technology just because it is new. We are interested in what a story makes you feel and what impact it has on the viewer.
02
HONESTY OVER COMFORT
The stories worth telling are rarely comfortable, we will not sand down the difficult edges, we sit with them because that is where the truth lives.
03
INDEPENDENCE OVER COMPROMISE
We are independently operated, that means our creative decisions are made in service of the work not in the service of a network, corporation or fad.
