tendervicious studios is a multimedia production studio that creates experimental art with intent.

We aim to challenge and redefine what is possible within all mediums. Prioritizing the stories of marginalized people, our work consists of character studies that tear into heavier themes. We ask you to Go There with us and to explore what it means to be human, to love, and to live in relation with each other.
