Beneath Pictures

Beneath Pictures is a film studio for iconic characters and epic stories, home of Barto, The Truth Teller, and The House of Doves.

We draw our characters by hand and write the story before we touch a tool.

In Development:

BARTO: An orphan in 1600s Rome survives by selling forged Caravaggios to tourists, until Caravaggio sees the talent in his fakes.

THE TRUTH TELLER: A Manhattan forensic psychiatrist hears confessions for a living. His gatekeeper, Mara Voss, decides who is lying before they reach his door.

THE HOUSE OF DOVES: An impoverished widow spends the last of her fortune on the hungry and the forgotten. When creditors close in on her crumbling manor, the people she saved come back.

Scott Devon, creator of the art-history podcast Beneath the Varnish, founded the studio.
