We are Maniacs
A Creative Studio that develops and produces concept-led work that breaks through in a noisy world.
Working across a wide variety of mediums and production methodologies, our concepts and executions have launched brands, guided cultural conversations, won industry awards—all the while entertaining and informing audiences.
Now we apply our shared background to partner with artists, brands, agencies, entertainment groups, and production studios to bring powerful visions to life.
We’ve spent a decade telling stories for global brands.
Add yours to the list.
Meet the Maniacs
Alex Schaeffer is a creator. A writer. He’s a wizard, close-up magician and sworn to the secrets of The Academy of Magical Arts—giving him a studied insight into human psychology & sociology. He takes on problems with non-linear methods, and asks the questions that build better solutions.
Abbas Deidehban can dream it and build it. Pixel or practical. Abbas is a vision maker, an in-the-moment artist, and a decisive director. The son of an engineer and a teacher, he sees playgrounds in junkyards, turning rusty cars into moving art. In every endeavor, he’s driven toward creating rich experiences—be they real or better yet, unreal.
