ABOUT TRUSTFALL

At Trustfall Studios, we prize collaboration and hard work. Our name embodies the heart of our approach: recognizing that making a great project begins with a leap of faith. This requires trust — trust in each other’s talents, trust in the creative process, trust in planning and preproduction, and trust in a shared love for storytelling.

Trustfall Studios was founded by four recent graduates of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts: Liam Podos, Samuel Mitchell, Muhil Vaseekaran, and Jake Shoop.

Over the past three years, Trustfall Studios has facilitated the production of over 30 music videos, 15 narrative short films, and 1 feature film. Our music video work has been featured on platforms such as Billboard and MTV, and our narrative projects have been screened at festivals such as Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival, Screen ATX, and the Miami Short Film Festival.

Outside of on-set production, our studio offers a full suite of post-production services, including editing, sound design, and color grading. Additionally, we provide creative development consultation to help teams and individuals conceive, grow, and execute their ideas. Our professional advisement assists in outlining actionable steps to ensure that your project is feasible and well-planned from the start — while still upholding and exceeding its original vision.

At Trustfall Studios, our chief goal is always to ensure your creative vision is fully realized while allowing room for spontaneity, creative intuition, and risk-taking. We are committed to delivering exceptional creative work without compromising on quality, affordability, or your creative ambitions. We pride ourselves on our ability to take a project from its inception to distribution while upholding these foundational tenets.
