About Us:
MAKE is a creative studio with a big passion for short stories. Stories that punch above their length and live rent free in your head.

Every frame gets obsessed over. Every second has a job to do.
Because short isn’t easy, it’s surgical.

There’s no fluff. Just tight, expressive work that knows what it’s saying and says it with style.
