Creator Statement
Coworking spaces bring entrepreneurs, artists, founders, freelancers, and dreamers together, creating a natural setting for comedy, competition, and community. We shot Coworking as a vertical series because that is increasingly where audiences discover stories, and we wanted the format to shape the storytelling itself. The series was built with Cincinnati businesses, creators, and organizations who believed in the story and the team from the start. At its core, Coworking is about ambition, belonging, and the wonderfully chaotic people we meet along the way.
