About
Terry Blade - CEO + Founder - Blade Arthouse Media is an independent, Black and LGBTQ+ founded and led independent creative agency. We work at the intersection of culture, identity, and storytelling.
We create purpose-driven work across film, music, creative communications, digital media, and publishing, From experimental films and social-impact campaigns to immersive digital experiences and cultural archives, we prioritize strong ideas over production scale while preserving memory, challenging convention, and amplifying overlooked perspectives.
Our work is supported by two dedicated in-house practices: KUL/SHIFT, our internal creative agency, and Eighth Interval, our internal music, sound, film, and story production and post-production studio.
#NOTFORCASUALCONSUMPTION is our recurring creative signature. It gives our work a common identity while making an expectation of the audience clear: pay attention. Look again. Listen longer. Stay with what unsettles, complicates, or refuses an immediate answer. The phrase appears across our work as both a marker of authorship and an invitation to engage more deliberately.
