Creative Mind Studios
Where the work gets made.
Theatre, film, commercial creative work, commissions and partnerships.
What CMS does
Four kinds of production
Creative Mind Studios is where the work gets made, taught and passed on. It exists so that what starts here can outlast any single production, course or season.
Theatre
Stage production from development through to opening night, including commissions for new writing.
Film
Screen direction and production, from short-form through to longer narrative work.
Commissions and partnerships
Work made for or with an organisation, brand or institution.
Commercial creative work
Creative direction and production for brands that need a clearer point of view.
