BASIC Studios

Beyond Adversity, Stigma, Ignorance, and Crisis When life goes crazy, go back to basics. We want practical progress, not vague motivation. Let’s change the world.

BASIC Studios is a safe place where you can figure out who you are, share your experiences, and be supported through the hard parts of life. We aim to be a sanctuary for self-exploration and expression, grounded in solidarity and resilience, where people can show up as they are and still feel like they belong. Our work centers on mental wellness, mental health awareness, and real support that people can actually use. Our primary wellness program, Building COURAGE, offers actionable strategies and evidence-based techniques, paired with real-life skills and proven methods that help individuals navigate challenges, communicate more clearly, and grow over time. We are committed to an inclusive environment where neurodiversity is celebrated and people are not punished for how their brains work. We focus on reducing shame, stigma, and the barriers that show up around disease, disability, disorder, and other challenges, because nobody should have to fight for dignity while already fighting for stability. Through COURAGE, we seek to deepen understanding of mental health challenges and prioritize mental wellness, building a compassionate, supportive community where more people can thrive.

Of Men and monsters 2:

Monsters come in many shapes and sizes. Depending on the context in which a person classifies them, there are times that the ‘monster’ of a film is more desirable than the hero of that same story. We can choose to believe that ‘monsters’ are one sided, evil, destructive beasts that don't care about the human world, however it would be a false assumption....

Killer Rabbits

The "most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on" (Tim the Enchanter, Monty Python) was capable of defeating one of the greatest generals in history. While dictators attempt to provide a powerful vibrato, at other times they are exposed as just as weak and vulnerable as the rest of us. Perhaps poor planning could be to blame, or the perversion of the practice of hunting had something to do with it, but incompetence can bring down the most powerful of dictators....
