Founded by directing duo Sil van der Woerd and Jorik Dozy, Studio Birthplace is dedicated to creating awareness and inspiring change in unique ways across a multitude of ecological and humanitarian issues. 

In the face of climate meltdown, massive inequity and a sixth mass extinction, the studio is committed to disrupt the way environmental and social stories are told. By breaking down the old ways of thinking with fearless creativity and endless curiosity, it shifts the narrative towards a just, healthy world for all, using the power of storytelling to inspire change.

This unique collective of filmmakers and technologists combine an array of visual and technical talents, from breathtaking cinematography and high end VFX work, to AR and mobile gaming, shining a light on the climate crisis and marginalised communities in the most remote corners of the world. At the advent of every project they ask themselves: will this improve our world? 

Their Wear Wool, Not Waste zombie-inspired campaign for Woolmark, visualised the unnaturally long lifespan of synthetic fibres as an apocalyptic horror, showcasing pure wool products as a more sustainable alternative. Impeccably crafted, the film has received over 62M views. Their recent collaboration with musician Novo Amor, Earth Defender, premiered at the World Leaders Climate Action Summit at COP 29. The film exposes the lives that are lost while defending nature.

Studio Birthplace say on the signing: “Positive, impact-driven work that moves people forms the synergy in our new collaboration with Creators Inc. Joining their roster marks an exciting new phase for Studio Birthplace that further explores how powerful campaigns and films can move the needle towards positive change and disrupt how environmental and social stories are told. We couldn’t be more thrilled about what’s to come!”     

Jani Guest, CEO Creators Inc., says: “The ambition for Creators Inc has always been to be a home for first-class storytellers who marry exceptional craft with stories that create positive social impact. Studio Birthplace’s values of social and environmental consciousness and determination to drive change feel very closely aligned with our company ethos. We could not be more excited to be supporting them in this next chapter of their career”.
