Private Project

The Studio King

The Studio King tells the story of a young record producer, Dr. J, who is seeking to give his studio, Medicinal Records, some extra publicity leading him to bring in a TV crew for an all-exclusive tour of his studio. Of course nothing goes to plan and he soon finds himself between a rock and a hard place, leaving him to confront the one person he admires most, even if the admiration is from a distance.

Director Biography - Sam Singh

Currently I am a film student at the Institute of Production and Recording in Minneapolis and am still learning the ropes, but with each day and new experience I learn something new! It's my hope that I can produce content that will make others laugh, cry and empathize with the stories I create. Although I don't have a lot of experience yet, I'm of the belief that if you put your all into something, you will have created something that others will enjoy.

Director Statement

It's rare that two ideas ever come about the same way. Sometimes it begins with a comical thought, other times it begins with a brainstorm session. In the case of The Studio King it came with a simple line while driving: "Don't touch me." In a matter of moments the idea grew and took on a life of its own.

The Studio King tells the story of a young record producer, Dr. J, who is seeking to give his studio, Medicinal Records, some extra publicity leading him to bring in a TV crew for an all-exclusive tour of his studio. Of course nothing goes to plan and he soon finds himself between a rock and a hard place, leaving him to confront the one person he admires most, even if the admiration is from a distance.

The Studio King carries a light-hearted weight, aiming to make the audience laugh while telling the story of a ignored young man who desires to accomplish more. Boasting a classic early 2000's MTV Cribs vibe coupled with performances by a phenomenal cast, The Studio King is a film that I am proud to present to others. I hope that the audience will enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed making it. Hopefully the film will grow and just like the idea it began as, it too will take on a life of its own.
