From the founder:

In a landscape dominated by cinematic universes and massive media conglomerates,

I feel there’s been a lack of the kind of content I want to see.

The kind of content that gives a voice to people like me, that tells stories of what it’s like to be a weirdo living in that great expanse of America between the coasts.

So I decided that if the big media companies won’t make it, I’ll just do it myself.

Enter Strangehaven Studios, a multimedia production company focused on elevating and celebrating voices from a different perspective, specifically the LGBTQ+ and alternative communities from the Midwest.

It started in 2024 with the launch of the podcast Small Town Big Gays, and we’re working hard to expand our own network of content.

At the same time, we want to help you create the kind of content you want to see. So if you have an idea you need help making a reality, reach out!

We’re here to make you feel seen and be heard!
