Offbend Studios is a new kind of film studio—built like a startup, obsessed with culture, and driven by technology. Our first film, High Stakes, is in pre-production, blending dark comedy and thriller with a 1970s western flair. But Offbend isn't just a film company—it's a brand, a platform, and a movement for the next generation of creators and fans.
We're building Offbend to be what A24 was ten years ago—only leaner, younger, more technical, and more fearless. We're in early startup mode, and we're serious. We've got something to prove.
Now we're looking for a designer to help us make it look and feel inevitable.
As our Founding Designer, you'll define and own Offbend's visual identity from the ground up. You'll design brand systems, develop expressive visuals across mediums, and collaborate directly with the CEO and creative leads to shape every public-facing experience.
