Ghost View Studios Information

Working from our belief in animation as an art form of rich and endless storytelling possibility, GHOST VIEW is a fledgling film and games studio based in Lawrence, Kansas. We strive to tell mesmerizing stories about imaginative worlds that are nevertheless rooted in real human experiences. As a partnership between three artists from three different creative disciplines, we believe there are three foundational elements of animated film that bring a good story—a good script—to life: Image. Motion. Sound. Each of us represents one of these areas of expertise and vision: Matthew Cook, co-founder / art direction David Mai, co-founder / animation Joshua Miner, co-founder / sound design & music Planning to rotate writing and direction duties, the three of us began with a two-part greenpunk noir tale, Philodendron (now in production), written and directed by Joshua Miner, and are in early development on other feature projects, including a supernatural horror about the first acquisitions of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the wild world of international art dealing in 1930s Kansas City.
