Vision:  An animation studio in New York City that fosters a community of disenfranchised artists.

Cleos Studios LLC is an animation production studio based in New York City.  We're a commercial firm with a tendency to tell personal, touching short films that inspire our communities. 

​

Chevez J. Sanchez founded the studio based on the idea of Cleos. The word derives from the Latin word Cleo, and the Greek word Kleos.

cle·os /kleos/

1. An occupation at one's highest point of interest in which they achieve personal glory.

2. What one does on the "hero's journey" to obtain the "treasure".

​

Chevez, along with the other members of the studio, not only have a passion, but their Cleos is animation. 

What We Do:

We've created commercial production for various companies in a lot of different ways, such as,

Pilots, Music Videos, Mini-Series, Logo Animation, Concept Art, and General Advertisements.

​

In addition, we've also developed our own IP and are producing original short films! 

​

The Bottom Line: We're Storytellers. Whether it's our story or yours, we'll bring it to life!

Some may say traditional animation is dead, we say otherwise. In a world where everything is available at your fingertips, the values of traditional animation are being subverted in favor of a “one-click” solution to get the job done faster. Well, that’s simply not how we do things at Cleos Studios.

Call us old school, it’s a compliment.
