The future of film is
permissionless.
↓
"The Vandalist" is not just a media company, but a belief that artists should not need permission to fund, create, and distribute their work.
We are building a new kind of creative studio — part production house, part film school, part cultural movement.

And More
From high concept commercials to narrative world building, we craft premium films for brands & filmmakers.
We build movies...
But we also build the tools that help filmmakers do the same.
Our mission is to democratize prestige filmmaking by sharing the "hidden passageways" that we discovered into the industry.
What began as our own escape route became a map for others, with our leading work in Crowd-Equity helping filmmakers unlock millions of dollars without any prior connections, wealth, or gatekeepers.
