Introducing The Studio That Reinvents Itself Every Season — And It Might Just Reinvent Hollywood

In an era when most studios are clinging tightly to IP and playing it safe with sequels, a bold newcomer is flipping the entire production model on its head.

INTERDEPENDENT Studios, founded by Chris Amell, isn’t just a digital studio — it’s a seasonal experiment in reinvention. Every quarter, the studio launches a new, temporary subsidiary (Studio 1, Studio 2, and so on), each with its own creative slate, leadership style, and internal systems. When the season ends, the studio dissolves. Then it begins again.

"We’re not here to protect a legacy — we’re here to create something great. And if it doesn’t work, we move on," says Amell.

This fresh approach draws from startup culture more than traditional studio politics. The seasonal reset allows INTERDEPENDENT to test ideas, take risks, and prevent stagnation — something legacy studios often struggle with. Each new slate is not just a set of films, but a full organizational reboot.

With its films chosen through AI analysis and audience interaction, and its production teams changing every few months, INTERDEPENDENT is betting that agility, transparency, and experimentation will yield something Hollywood has been chasing for decades: true originality.
