Studios · Commissions

Films and photographs for firms that run on trust.

Studios makes brand films, portraits and editorial for founders and the firms they lead. The same people, and the same standard, as our own publication.

CaseBogart: mentoring heirs, strengthening families.

A brand film for a firm that guides families through generational transition. It had to feel like the firm itself: present, patient, and trusted across generations.

What we make

Every commission starts with what the audience needs to believe.

01

Brand films

Short documentaries that let a firm's people say what they believe, on camera and in their own words.

02

Portraits and launch photography

Founders, teams and places, photographed for the launch and for the years after it.

03

Editorial

Founder profiles, essays and thought leadership, edited to the standard of a magazine.

04

Series and podcasts

Recurring films or episodes that give a firm a voice its clients come back to.

Why Studios

Made by a publication, not a vendor.

Editorial judgment

We decide what to leave out. Every piece is built around one idea the audience should leave with.

A place to publish

With your approval, a commission can run in the Studios publication and in The Studios Letter, labeled as made with you.

One house

Design and Studios work together, so the film, the photographs and the brand speak the same language.

How a commission works

01

Conversation

We learn the firm, the audience and the moment. One call, no deck required.

02

Treatment

A written treatment: the story, the people, the look, the schedule and the fee.

03

Production

A small crew in your offices, homes and cities. We work quietly and keep the day focused.

04

Delivery

The film, the photographs and cut-downs for every channel, licensed for the uses we agreed.

Engagements

Three ways to work with us.

One

A single piece

One film, or one portrait session. For a launch, a raise, or a moment worth marking.

Two

A launch

Film, photography and a written profile, made together so they tell one story.

Three

A season

A set of films, photographs or episodes on a steady rhythm, for firms that want to be heard from regularly.

Fees are set in the treatment, after the first conversation.

Questions

Before you write.

Where do you work?

Studios is based in Los Angeles, Dallas and New York. We travel for the story.

Who owns the work?

Krafft keeps the copyright. You receive a license for every use agreed in the treatment, written plainly, and we can extend it as your needs grow. We never publish the work without your approval.

Will it appear in the Studios publication?

Only if you want it to. When it does, it is labeled as made with you.

How do we start?

Write a few lines about the firm and the moment. Will Fullerton replies personally.
