TÁPI Studios is an Austin-based production company specializing in human-centered storytelling for social and ecological impact.

We create non-fiction or fiction films that raise awareness, generate action, or activate behavior change.

As immigrants ourselves, we are especially committed to stories of communities of color, underrepresented communities, and communities catalyzing change. We tell hyper-local stories which resonate universally. We believe in the power of human experience in relationship with others, nature, and ourselves to create a better, more just world for everyone.

“TÁPI” is a combination of the words “talking” and “piece.”

A “talking piece”—whether it’s a handicraft, a stone, a stick or a puppet—carries its own set of stories. Read more about it on our Medium article.

We have helped share the work of large global players like UNDP | ILO | USAID | World YMCA | World YWCA | WHO | Visa Innovation Labs | APEC | UNEP

We are equally proud of the work we have done with local and regional NGOs such as MamaBaby Haiti | Blind Link | Justice and Soul Foundation | Good Return | The Asia Foundation | GAVA | Civilla | NALAC
