The idea should move you.
The process should move with you.

04 / The approachOne connected creative practice.
Small team.
Wider reach.
A boutique studio with the reach to build the right team around the idea. Strategy stays close to the making. Production stays close to the purpose.
Bring us the interesting problem ↗
One idea. Many connections.
Creative
Production
AI + workflows
Different strengths. Shared instinct.
01
Find the idea.
Creative direction, concepts, scripts and visual development. A reason for every frame before we make the first one.
02
Make it happen.
Live action, animation, photography and post. A considered production built around the work, from crew to final delivery.
03
Make it go further.
AI-assisted exploration, intelligent workflows and adaptable content. More room for the creative decisions that matter.
05 / An expanded toolkitHuman-led. AI-enabled.
More possibility.
Still a point of view.
See it sooner.
Use AI to visualize directions, prototype an idea and have a better conversation before production begins.
Keep the judgment.
Tools open options. Taste, story and a clear brief determine which ones deserve to become real.
Give time back to craft.
Streamline repeatable work and build smarter versions, so attention goes where audiences will feel it.
06 / The studioAustin roots. An open horizon.
Good people.
Wherever it takes us.
Mojave was founded in 2014 by Jonathan Hartwig and a small group of creatives who wanted a better way to work. We kept the creative ambition and close collaboration we valued in the agency world, then built more thoughtful processes around the parts that got in the way.
Remote since 2018, we build each production around what it needs. We rent, source or build the spaces, assemble the right crew and travel wherever the story takes us. Complex logistics, hard-to-reach locations and uncommon perspectives are part of the craft.
From the first conversation through the final delivery, you work with the people making the work. We keep the collaboration personal, wherever we land.
Independent since 2014. Remote since 2018.
