ABOUT
Two tracks, one studio.
11:11 is an independent animation studio. We operate on US Pacific Time, and collaborate with filmmakers and animators worldwide.
Our screenplays are 100% originally authored. We focus on developing original projects, ranging from short and feature films to full-length series.
We are passionate about crafting thought-provoking stories and draw on genres such as science fiction to pose complex questions through striking visuals.
The studio runs on two tracks that feed one another. The first is our own intellectual property. The second is a premium commissioned practice: selective, high-craft animation for brands and institutions who value working with artists.
core TEAM
Aram Vidal
Founder & CEO
Aram Vidal is a writer, director, and producer with more than two decades of work across fiction, animation, and documentary. He trained in screenwriting under Gabriel García Márquez at EICTV, and his short film Relevo went on to win Best Screenplay at Cannes (2014). His documentaries have earned international recognition — among them Best Documentary at the Havana Film Festival (DeGeneración, 2007) — and his work has been supported by fellowships from Mexico and the U.S. Most recently, he produced the feature A Day on Earth, a 2026 Panda Awards nominee.
He holds a PhD from UNAM, where his research examined how digital technology is transforming the language of cinema. For years, alongside his filmmaking, Vidal was quietly building an expansive science-fiction universe — one that outgrew any single film.
11:11 Film Studio was founded to give that universe a home.
Vanessa Batista
Producer & director
Vanessa Batista is an award-winning producer and filmmaker. She trained in Film Directing at the Escola de Mitjans Audiovisuals (EMAV) in Barcelona.
Her award-winning films Ellas (2012) and Lula (2013) screened at numerous international festivals. Her second feature Calle Cuba (2026) premiered at the Miami Film Festival.
At 11:11 Film Studio she brings this full-spectrum authorship to the producer's chair — pairing festival-tested storytelling instincts with the practical command of international co-production that gets ambitious work financed and finished.
gloria carrión
director & writer
Gloria Carrión is a director and screenwriter, whose work bridges documentary, fiction, and animation.
Her film, Heiress of the Wind (2017), went on to screen at more than 80 international film festivals, winning several awards. With Hojas de K. (2022), she turned to animation, transforming the testimonies of women who took part in Nicaragua's 2018 civic uprising into a dreamlike, hand-drawn short. She holds a Master's in Filmmaking from the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires and a Master's in Development from the London School of Economics.
Authored IP
OPENMIND and EMBERS were written, designed and structured by the studio's creative core. Not adaptations, not licensed concepts — original worlds, copyright-protected, developed over years.
Clean structure
Independently owned, newly incorporated. No legacy agreements, no inherited arrangements. The studio moves at the speed of the decision, not the speed of the organization.
REAL AUDIENCE
Adult-targeted, thematically universal, formatted for the acquisition logic of contemporary streamers — 90-minute features, ten-episode seasons, cross-territory potential by design.
