Manifesto
THE STUDIO
The story is the IP.
( 01 ) ABOUT US
A modern entertainment company,built independently.
Coded Studios is an independent film and television studio focused on developing, producing, owning, and distributing original entertainment.
Mission
To create commercially viable films and television series while challenging the traditional economics of independent filmmaking.
Based in New York City, with production capabilities in Europe, Coded Studios is centered on compelling storytelling, intellectual property ownership, innovative production strategies, and direct audience relationships.
We believe the future of entertainment belongs to companies that combine creative independence, disciplined production, intellectual property ownership, and meaningful connections with their audiences.
WE BUILD THE IP THAT FILLS THE STAGES.
( 02 ) HOW WE WORK
HOW WE WORK
OWN THE IP
We develop and retain the stories we create — the library is the business.
NO LEGACY OVERHEAD
Every dollar we can, we put on screen instead of into structure.
BUILT IN EUROPE
Built in Northern Portugal & Europe.
International production resources that stretch budgets without cutting ambition.
NIMBLE BY DESIGN
Small, focused teams that move from page to screen with fewer layers.
CREATIVE INDEPENDENCE
Stories driven by vision, not committee.
AUDIENCE RELATIONSHIPS
Connecting viewers directly with the work.
( 03 ) THE ENGINE
AN AUDIENCE BEFORE A DISTRIBUTOR.
Most independent films go looking for an audience after they're made. We build ours first.
POWERED BY CODED TV
FIND THEM WHERE THEY WATCH.
Coded TV takes people inside the making of an independent studio, free on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
BRING THEM HOME.
Viewers move from rented platforms to the Coded TV app, where the audience relationship belongs to us, not to an algorithm.
TURN VIEWERS INTO MEMBERS.
Free members get early access; paying fans binge full seasons first, directly from the studio.
LET THE AUDIENCE OPEN DOORS.
A proven, direct audience lowers our marketing costs and strengthens every financing, partnership and distribution conversation.
EVERY RELEASE FEEDS THE NEXT.
Each series grows the audience, and the audience powers what we make next. The library compounds.
( 04 ) OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
Put more money on screen, not into overhead.
01
Development
We develop original scripted films, television series, and entertainment properties across multiple genres, focused on compelling, commercially viable stories with franchise potential.
02
Production
A lean, internationally integrated production model with resources in the United States and Europe — particularly Portugal and Spain — to maximize production value within disciplined budgets.
03
IP Ownership
Rather than operating solely as a hired production company, we aim to develop, produce and retain ownership in our stories — opening the door to licensing, adaptations, sequels, spin-offs and franchises.
04
Distribution
Through our digital platforms and the CODED TV brand, we're developing a direct-to-audience ecosystem connecting viewers with our films, series and exclusive content.
