Original ideas.
Built with depth.
Nomadic Star is an independent storytelling studio. We develop original stories, characters and worlds through books, music, film, comics and animation.
The work begins with a point of view. Character, setting and the systems around them give it substance. Books, films and other forms grow from that foundation.
