About K13 Media
K13 Media is an independent entertainment studio pioneering the future of storytelling through generative technology deployed across cinema and publishing. The company develops original films, graphic novels, and multimedia franchises designed for global distribution across streaming, theatrical, and publishing platforms.
​
In 2025, K13 introduced The Cheep — one of the world’s first viable narrative AI-augmented feature films — which became a viral hit online and signaled a new era of production. With additional features already in development, the studio is scaling its pipeline to deliver bold, original stories across multiple formats.
While its core focus is building proprietary IP, K13 also produces cinematic assets — from trailers and featurettes to short films and music videos — using next-generation workflows that fuse traditional production with cutting-edge AI. The studio extends these capabilities to partners through cost-conscious second-unit and b-roll services, giving both major studios and independent filmmakers access to Hollywood-scale visuals without Hollywood overhead.
Positioned at the crossroads of film, publishing, and technology, K13 Media is more than a production company — it is a storytelling engine built to disrupt legacy models and define the next era of entertainment.

Meet K13's Founder
Brian James Gage is an award-winning author, generative cinematographer/director, and graphic novelist pioneering the use of AI in next-generation entertainment. He is the creator of The Nosferatu Conspiracy trilogy — an Amazon best-selling epic that has earned international recognition — and was honored in 2025 with the Rusty Bucket Award from the AI Music Video Awards for his contributions to generative entertainment.
A cinematic storyteller and narrative architect, he has also launched and sold several successful businesses across tech, manufacturing, and product development — experience that sharpened the business discipline behind his creative work. Today he is building out K13 Media as the vanguard of next-generation entertainment, while also operating as a hired gun, consulting on AI and digital production workflows for established Hollywood entities and independent creators alike.
His projects span feature films, episodic shorts, and graphic novels, with audiences in the hundreds of thousands across platforms including Apple TV and Roku. Notably, his feature The Cheep — one of the world’s first AI-augmented films — became a viral hit online, reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers and positioning him at the forefront of generative cinema.
Beyond film and publishing, Brian is pursuing classical piano at the conservatory level, bringing the same rigor and depth of interpretation to his music studies that he brings to the screen and page.
K13 Media produces AI-augmented films, graphic novels, and original IP designed for global distribution — a proving ground where vision, craft, and technology come together to disrupt entrenched systems and create something entirely new.
