EPIC10

Storytelling comes first at EPIC10, a film and post studio that takes projects from concept to completed picture. Its team is described as storytellers first, and clients may engage the studio for everything, or for a single part of the job. Its work includes documentaries and other film projects built around a story, and it presents its creative approach as one that holds an audience's attention because people are naturally drawn to stories told well.

Documentaries built from a story first

The studio's film work is shown through documentaries on social and political subjects. Its site includes a portrait project that follows a visual artist over a year as the artist paints people affected by the opioid crisis in two rural communities in eastern Kentucky. Another film, a mosaic-style documentary, was shot on Election Day 2020 in five cemeteries across New York State and looks at the past century of women's political equality and the present moment. Both projects are credited to members of the studio's creative team.

Taking a film from script to screen

The studio's services run through the whole life of a film. Scriptwriting develops the story, production covers the filming and the work needed to make it, and post-production and editing assemble and finish the footage. Clients can bring the studio in for all of these stages or for a single part, which the studio presents as a flexible way to work with other teams.

Motion graphics and audio for finished films

Motion graphics add animated titles and graphics to a film, and the audio work covers sound and original music. The studio also offers color grading, which is the final adjustment of the picture so that the look of the film matches its intent. Together these services mean a film can be finished in one studio, from the first draft of the script to the last sound mix.

Creative team with a documentary record

The studio's own account is that its creative team has collaborated on a variety of film projects, bringing creativity to each one. The site uses these documentaries to show the kind of stories the studio tells.
