YOU’VE DONE THE BIG THING.
NOW DO THE REAL THING.
A private studio for public figures and distinctive brands.
We co-produce and ship cultural work: films, magazines, fashion capsules, talks, books, brand worlds.
High standards. Low drama. Great shoes.
THE OUTPUT
We make one finished release together — your name on the front, our name in the credits.
A book. A film. A show.
It’s 1:1. I’m in the room shaping the work at the level of taste, edit, angle, finish, and world.
Most teams are there to keep things measurable, immediate, and safe. Respect.
In the studio, we raise the underlying standard, encode it with style, and make the release inevitable.
The fun part, done seriously.
HOUSE RULES
This is for public figures and distinctive brands who get paid for taste — and judged on output.
You want a private editor and style operator in the mix — references, humor, loafers, total devotion to the work.
My role is foundational, not auxiliary. You’re bringing in a partner whose involvement changes the real estate.
The release is the visible win.
The real win is the world it unlocks.

THE ROOM + THE MAGIC
Small roster. Clean terms.
minor genius (link) is already shipping culture — zines, video magazines, events, clothing, artifacts.
Studio is the private 1:1 room: one finished release that lives in culture. An artifact, not a deck.
Vendors take orders. This is development — a 1:1 editor/producer relationship with the talent.
We make it land.
On my side: twenty years in the room + close-range work inside the machine with LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, FADER, GQ, Michael Imperioli.
On your side: a real body of work, taste over tactics, and the autonomy to ship.
If 15k+ feels like an investment piece, not a mortgage, you’re in the right zone.
To see if it’s mutual: send three links, one sentence on what you want to release, and your start window.
If you see yourself here, drop a line.
