Help Open Escano Studios 1st EVER Location

What is Escano Studios LLC?

Escano Studios LLC is a video production company that aims to foster an inclusive and welcoming home base for creatives in York, PA. Our mission is to cultivate a space where all creative individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves and sharing their unique stories.

What is the issue, and what solutions can we provide?

Our core beliefs center on two issues; 1) York, PA, lacks sufficient creative studios, especially film studios. 2) Mainstream media also lacks adequate representation of communities like ours.

Escano Studios LLC is dedicated to bringing our community together by providing a much-needed creative outlet. As we grow, our goal is to share our space with fellow creatives to support them in completing their passion projects. York County needs a studio that can facilitate creative endeavors without adding stress. We will offer a range of cost-effective services to empower creatives to execute their visions, while also providing space and equipment rentals for those who desire full control over their projects.

Our studio will produce projects that focus on people within our communities. Everyone possesses "main character energy" and deserves to see themselves represented on screen. Contrary to mainstream media, which often excludes those deemed "imperfect," we will tell stories that allow everyone to recognize themselves as the protagonist and not just the token diverse side kick.

Who is behind Escano Studios?

Hey!

 

My name is Franchesca Escano, and I'm the owner of Escano Studios LLC. I founded this video production company because of my passion for storytelling and my love for being part of a community. Growing up, I was a huge fan of many popular fandoms, and I still am! I've always found joy and value in sharing passions with others. It's amazing to be part of a community that appreciates the same things you do.

 

With Escano Studios LLC, I want to create that sense of community and shared passion for art in my hometown. Whether it's photography, film, or another art form, I want to help people be passionate about art. Everyone here, including myself, works demanding 9-5 jobs. I want to provide an outlet for actors, writers, editors, directors, photographers, and other creatives to escape the daily routine and pursue their passions. I'm here to support them, just as I'm pursuing my own passion.

 

Thank You,

Franchesca Escano

Why does Escano Studios LLC need funding?

We are seeking funding to open our first EVER location. There are various projects coming in the future, and we need a space to make them happen - not just for our own creative endeavors, but to serve others in theirs as well. All of the funds raised will be used to secure a location in downtown York, PA.

We have our eye set on a few potential studios ranging from 360 sq. ft. to 630 sq. ft. Upon reaching our fundraising goal of $7,500, we would be able to lease the 360 sq. ft. studio or a comparable space. This would enable us to pay the first year's rent upfront and use the remainder funds for necessary equipment and decorations.

Should you exceed our fundraising goal and we are able to reach $10,500, we would have the opportunity to secure the highly desirable 630 sq ft unit or a comparable space.

Thank You
