The future of creativity is
permissionless.
↓
"The Vandalist" is a belief: artists should not need permission to fund, create, and distribute their work.
We proved it with 6+ feature films. Now we’re proving it with businesses — a launch studio that partners with creators to turn their audiences into companies they own.

The Launch Studio
We partner with a small number of creators to develop, finance, build, and launch companies they own. Now selecting our pilot cohort.
Isle Child
A $1.6M coming-of-age feature film by Sundance/TIFF filmmaker/creator Thomas Percy Kim. In select theaters January 2027.
Staring At The Sun
A $2M familial epic about fractured ties, fading rituals, and a happily haunted home. Filming in Korea Spring 2027.
And More
From high-concept commercials to narrative world building, we craft premium films for brands, filmmakers, and the creators we back.
We build movies...
But we also build the companies that let creators own their futures.
Our mission is to democratize the creative industry — first by sharing the "hidden passageways" we found into Hollywood, and now by walking through them with other artists.
Our leading work in Crowd-Equity unlocked millions of dollars for filmmakers without prior connections, wealth, or gatekeepers. Now we bring that engine to all creatives online.
If you're a creator–
with an audience you haven’t turned into a business yet, you’re exactly who this studio exists for. We design the product, run the launch, and handle the boring machinery. You stay the artist.
For filmmakers raising capital: our Crowd-Equity Playbook still lives in the shop below.
And if you’re just here for the vibes, drop your email at the end of this page. Worst case, a fun story in your inbox. Best case, we accidentally become working collaborators. :)
