500 years later, the founders of this studio met through studying in Florence. Inspired by the Renaissance trade guilds and humanisms integrated mind, body, and spirit, a studio formed in the spirit of 1504. Italy would go on to host its first storytelling workshop and series commission.

Today, the studio is differentiated by its method of blending art, experience design, and commercial practice. But within this alchemy, there is always room left for the mystery of the story that no process can contain.

1504 is based but not biased in The South, the front lines of many complex issues facing America, where it draws inspiration from the rural landscape, traditions, and a strong presence of chefs and ghosts.
