When you stop growing you start dying. _William S. Burroughs
The evolution of non-biological intelligence, more than ever before in our human story - requires a discipline of character and rigorous utilization of media tools to uphold our values. This is your story - take it back!
S T U D I O S C R I V O is an intentional creative development team. We build magical projects that invite dialogue around cultural tolerances. To ignite this collision of vulnerability and innovation our mediums require multi-dimensional use of the lens, the stage, the screen and the land itself. We also dance with two dimensional forms including books, editorial publications, and fine art printing. We are currently building a network of sustainable land development projects in the Hudson Valley from which the more tactile metamorphosis of our vision can be experienced with like minded folk.
More than two decades of rigorous production training in NYC combined with 30+ years "front of camera" experience give our studio a unique edge. Understanding both the interpersonal language from which inspiration is derived, and the how content must be manufactured in order to authentically represent said branding is our game.
“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” _Thomas Jefferson
MARC SCRIVO
Having left Kansas with a suitcase and a guitar, Marc traded the last 20 years for a modest garden, two empowered, conscious baby girls, Jack and the divine Kate, a cabin shrouded in 1200 acres of Redwood grove, the 1850s state house on the Hudson river, 12 cameras, five bikes, one old Ford, one new Tesla, and a garage in Brooklyn (circa 2005, wherein he's been forging tools from mistakes, risks and big dreams). A classically trained actor, Marc's transition through the glass is an incisive metaphor for his personal journey of self-discovery, discipline and entrepreneurial enterprise. His depth and range of character yield fertile space from which to grow a future that rewards sustainable practice in facets of our lives. Marc enjoys food (v), Sunday morning, and crisp ocean air.
NILES BROOKS
Living intentionally for many years with what could fit in his backpack, Niles has mastered the delicate art of efficiency. Time and money are to be wasted not. Niles has cultivated a distinct bold, cold craft of modeling that exponentially reduces risk. Data driven, he values empirical evidence which has often coined him the "dream killer" of our tribe. Forced time away from his beloved PR post Maria, he currently hides out in bad-ass Montana. Niles like the river, brooks like the stream - without water there is no life.
DANIEL BROOKS JOHNSON
A life of pop culture consumption and roaming around the rural South has bred this documentarian/sound arranger/folklorist. His people were farmers and baptists from the sandhills of North Carolina. He himself had his sins washed away at the age of 13, but it didn't seem to take and he wandered throughout his youth. After fleeing to the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky when he was 18, DBJ learned about life from the locals. Over the years his perspective on life has been influenced by saw mills, weed-eaters, dark rooms & Civil War battlegrounds. He is the son of Ralph Devane Johnson, Jr.
DALANE MASON
Co-pilot and founding member, layered, genuine and kind - Dalane simply gets it done. Also from Kansas, he lives in NYC with wife and son. Dalane is a fluid communicator bent towards patient, inter-personal and creative collaborations that are fresh and satisfying. His knowledge of rigging, building and materials' sourcing is paramount to our work. While he did sell the ’62 T-bird, still his corner pocket holds the more important key - producing with grace. He is a rare bird.
PETER KASSEL
Born in New York City and raised in San Francisco, Peter Kassel is a true bi-coastal artist.

With his joining S T U D I O S C R I V O, Peter has been afforded the perfect outlet for his layered and complex skill set, bringing a strange and deep knowledge of art and culture to the already eclectic studio.
