What we do?

What we do?.

Film & Sound

A picture is worth a thousand words – and 25 per second even more. As a production house, we always put the storytelling side of things first, receiving several awards, i.e. in Venice and Los Angeles. In music, we work with indie artists as well as in the label environment.

Web & Design

Design is not simply pretty and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s why – in joint work and consultation with the client – we develop enduring and foundational solutions to a wide range of design and communication issues. Always with an eye on the bigger picture.

Misc.

All things in between or far beyond: Whether it’s browser games, studio software, typography with nail, thread & plank or music with shoebox, pen & rubber band – if it’s daring, we’re interested. Our enthusiasm for all things media shapes everything we do.

01 — We think it through

Crossmedia is the way

Nothing is ever just one thing. Its branches always reach out into all kinds of different opportunities. You have to be willing to find out what those are. We’ve worked for video content, feature films, streaming releases, vinyl records, television features, online marketing, web design – you name it, we made it.

02 — We make it worth it

Certified quality

We don’t measure success by output alone, but by impact. Every project is shaped through careful refinement, where ideas are tested, reduced, and sharpened until only what matters remains. The final result has to hold up in stores, on timelines, in festivals, and in playlists – not just in portfolios.

Featured project • Award-winning short film IRIS

03 — We think outside the screen

Life happens offline

We don’t just work with ones and zeroes. We like to hold our works in our own hands as well. Media does not end at the edge of a display. It reaches into spaces, objects, and interactions. We are interested in the texture of ideas.

Featured project • Phantom, ongoing comic series by ART:9

04 — We put the project first

Tailored solutions

The key to it all is our attention to detail. No two projects are ever the same, nor can they be treated the same. What we do is look at the bigger picture, so we can make informed choices on how to be approach the subject at hand.

Featured project • Harmonizer, a custom music production tool

05 — We spread what we know

Pay it forward

Education is not trivial. Media literacy is not optional. Knowledge is invaluable. So whatever knowledge we gather, we try to pass it on, as effectively as we can. The beautiful thing is, you can’t actually pass knowledge on per se — only multiply it. And we are committed to doing so.

06 — We keep it interesting

Anything else, really…

The most beautiful trait of the world of media is how it’s always revolving and evolving. Everything is singular and unlike anything else. So naturally, everything is interesting, if you just find the right angle. We find the angle.

Our founder & namesake

Michael J. Keplinger
