ABOUT

The Story Factory is a corner-block building wrapped in one-of-a-kind mural art
and led with a mission to “build stories out to build people up.”

PURPOSE: 

We are a city-block sized production house for you and your team to create dynamic content, record and film, develop campaigns, utilize event and merchandise storage facilities, print larger-than-life installations or boutique orders, and host Talent. 

Every creative project completed here allows us to bring life to our block through community events, after school programs, and outreach opportunities, with funds being invested directly from our projects.
