Five Years of Creativity and Innovation at Emperium Studios

Five years ago, Emperium Studios began as a vision in Dom Campbells apartment hallway, a small idea fueled by passion, purpose, and the belief that stories can change the world. What started as a dream in independent filmmaking has evolved into a multifaceted entertainment and technology company redefining how creative content is developed, produced, and shared. From the beginning, our goal was simple: create with intention, innovate with heart, and inspire through imagination. Today, that foundation has grown into an ecosystem that connects creators, audiences, and technology under one unified banner — Emperium Entertainment Group.

The Journey So Far

In 2019, Emperium Studios opened its doors as a small production outfit focused on independent films. Over time, we’ve expanded into a fully integrated creative house with divisions for film production, animation, distribution, and emerging tech development. We’ve brought powerful stories to screens through projects like The Female Hustler Franchise, Affliction: Toxic Misery, and upcoming Ava and the Boy She Loved — each produced with passion and a commitment to authentic storytelling. Along the way, our team built relationships with streaming platforms, distributors, and partners who share our vision for diverse, meaningful, and entertaining content.

Building the Future of Creative Infrastructure

While storytelling remains our heartbeat, innovation drives our momentum. Over the last few years, Emperium has grown beyond traditional production — developing new tools, systems, and technology that empower creators.

From launching our sister distribution platform: BlueCrown Motion Pictures, to developing SaaS tools for filmmakers and digital entrepreneurs, we’ve entered a new era where creativity meets infrastructure. Our technology vision aligns with the future of entertainment — merging storytelling, automation, and audience engagement into a seamless ecosystem. Our latest product is the future of independent distribution: crownplay.tv

Inspiration Meets Execution

At Emperium, creativity isn’t just an idea — it’s a discipline. Every project, from short animations to full-length features, starts with imagination but ends with execution. Whether we’re crafting animated worlds for children, designing AI-driven tools for filmmakers, or building partnerships across media and technology, our mission remains the same: to inspire the world through innovation and purpose-driven storytelling.

Collaborations that Reflect Our Vision

Part of Emperium’s recent growth has come from collaborating with visionary creators who trust us to bring their stories to life though animation. Two standout projects that embody this partnership are “Thoughts of Creativity King” and “Conversations You Need.” by Dorian Scott Withrow Jr. Our team handled the trailer pre-production, Animation, and post production.

Looking Ahead: The Next Five Years

The next chapter for Emperium Studios is all about expansion, education, and evolution. As we continue to grow, we’re laying stronger roots in Columbus, Ohio, solidifying our presence in the Midwest creative scene. Our vision extends beyond content creation — we’re expanding our value as a service-based company, offering full post-production and packaging services to filmmakers, brands, and studios looking for premium storytelling support. This growth includes securing a dedicated facility that will serve as both a creative hub and an incubator for emerging talent.

Education remains a cornerstone of our future. We’re developing summer workshops for middle and high school students, introducing them to the art and business of filmmaking, animation, and media production. We believe early access to industry knowledge can inspire the next generation of visionaries, and we’re calling on local creatives, educators, and partners to collaborate with us in making that vision a reality.

And while our focus remains rooted in film and animation, we’re also preparing to step boldly into the gaming space — exploring interactive storytelling, virtual worlds, and new ways to connect audiences through play.

The next five years at Emperium Studios will be defined by community, creativity, and innovation — building not just stories, but systems that empower others to tell theirs.
