At CO\\OP Studios, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling. Our vision extends beyond creating compelling films and television shows; we're building a vibrant ecosystem that empowers creative professionals, drives sustainable growth, and enriches communities through artistic and economic development. We are engineering a film production platform that combines Hollywood quality with modern efficiency to create a better way to make movies.

A Vision for Creative Communities
The power of storytelling shapes our cultural identity, drives economic growth, and creates opportunities for talented individuals to build meaningful careers. We envision a world where creative communities thrive everywhere – not just in Los Angeles or New York, but in places like Idaho, where untapped talent and fresh perspectives await.
Our mission is to empower a new generation of diverse storytellers and creative professionals by building Idaho's vertically integrated, employee-owned entertainment industrial solution. We aim to deliver high-quality, globally appealing content while fostering a sustainable and inclusive creative economy. We provide education, mentorship, infrastructure, and career opportunities that transform artistic potential into professional success.
The Promise of a New Model
We've developed our platform to simplify complex processes, reduce common challenges, and standardize a repeatable approach to bring projects swiftly to market. Our employee-owned structure ensures that everyone involved—from directors and producers to technicians and support staff—has a stake in the outcome. This alignment of incentives produces extraordinary results: higher quality work, more efficient production, and a culture of innovation.
In Idaho, a growing community of creative professionals is choosing to build careers, attracted by quality of life, affordability, and the unique perspectives that come from living outside traditional entertainment hubs. CO\\OP Studios is harnessing this energy, creating infrastructure that allows these talented individuals to collaborate, create, and connect with global audiences.
The Market Opportunity Before Us
The entertainment industry is experiencing unprecedented demand for content. Streaming platforms need fresh, distinctive storytelling to attract and retain subscribers, and audiences increasingly seek authentic voices and perspectives different from the homogenized output of major studios. This creates a perfect market opportunity for our approach.
While major studios often focus exclusively on large-budget franchises, a vast untapped market exists for quality films made with modest budgets. These productions, once the backbone of the industry, have significant potential and allow us to take creative risks on individual projects while maintaining overall financial stability.
Our Platform Solution
CO\\OP Studios is a complete reinvention of the film and television model, addressing systemic industry challenges through innovative design:
Vertical Integration: Our vertically integrated structure eliminates markups, ensures budget transparency, and aligns incentives across the entire production chain, significantly reducing costs while maintaining quality.
Employee Ownership: Our employee-owned model increases motivation and aligns interests, ensuring efficiency and quality from every team member.
Strategic Content Creation: We utilize data-driven strategies to identify and develop commercially viable projects, focusing on marketable, elevated genre content with fresh perspectives for modern audiences.
Community Focus: We are committed to local job creation, economic development, and fostering an active creative community in Idaho through educational and training initiatives, and community engagement.
Global Reach: Our decentralized production method, enabled by modern technology, allows us to operate from Idaho with global reach and distribution, providing access to fresh perspectives and untapped talent.
We're not competing with legacy studios; we're building a parallel system that's more efficient, more inclusive of innovation, and ultimately more impactful.
Building Sustainable Value
CO\OP Studios creates value on multiple levels:
Financial Value: Our production approach aims for strong economic stability through diversification, cost control, and accelerated timeframes.
Intellectual Property Value: Each successful production builds our library of owned content, creating long-term assets that continue generating value.
Infrastructure Value: Our physical production facilities, technology systems, and business processes represent significant assets that appreciate over time.
Talent Value: Our education and development programs create a growing pool of skilled professionals committed to our ecosystem.
Community Value: Our presence drives economic activity, creates jobs, and enhances the quality of life in the regions where we operate.
This multi-layered value creation ensures that our company's worth extends far beyond quarterly financial results. We're building an entertainment ecosystem designed for sustained growth and generational impact.
