Studio

IACA is an independent creative house founded in New Orleans.

We develop and produce work across image, film, design, publishing and cultural projects. Some projects begin with a commission. Others begin with an idea we believe should exist.

Philosophy

Ideas before format

The idea determines the form — not the other way around. We start with what should exist, then find the right medium.

Creative authorship

Every project carries a point of view. Work without one is content. Work with one is a campaign.

One point of vision

From the first conversation to the final frame, one team holds the idea and the standard. No handoffs.

Original and commissioned

Some projects begin with a commission. Others begin with an idea we believe should exist. Both live here.
