XIV Studio is Frank and Karen Juarez. We work with brands that have a story worth telling — and the courage to tell it at full volume.
We make brand films, commercial campaigns, and Spanish-language content for brands that refuse to be ordinary. Every project starts with a vision bold enough to give you goosebumps — then we build toward it.
XIV Studio — Catorce — is an owner-operated production company founded by Frank and Karen Juarez in Glendale, CA. Frank directs and shoots. Karen produces and leads brand relationships. When you hire XIV, you get us — not a subcontracted crew with our name on it.
Frank came to filmmaking through theater — through the discipline of making an audience feel something they didn't expect to feel. That instinct shapes every project. We don't shoot what's in the brief. We find what's underneath it and make that.
Our clients come back because the first film we made together changed how they see their own brand. That's not an accident. That's the work.
Frank directs from the inside out — finding what's underneath the brief and building toward it. The result isn't just a film. It's the version of your brand you didn't know you were capable of.
Karen leads every client relationship with cultural precision and genuine care. She specializes in Spanish-language campaigns and has a rare ability to protect the vision all the way through production.
We color, cut, and finish everything we start — because the feeling we built on set deserves to survive all the way to the screen.
