Motion pictures for a modern audience.

OFFBEND is an independent film studio. We make genre‑bending stories with memorable characters and an unapologetically modern point of view.

Our mission

Build a studio that moves fast, values craft, and treats audiences like collaborators—not targets.

How we work

Lean teams. Clear taste. Open dialogue with our community through OB7. We pick projects we love and give them room to be great.

What we make

Original films and series that bend genre without losing sight of character. We care about clarity, momentum, and memorable people at the center of it all.

We also build software platforms that help creatives do their best work—like Sides, an AI audition analysis tool.
