About

Strategy behind the story. Craft behind the screen.

Fat Duk is the creative communications and production arm of Forge. We work at the intersection of media, culture, design and technology.

Our approach brings strategic thinking and hands-on production together. Depending on the project, we work through traditional filmmaking, emerging AI tools or a carefully considered combination of both. We are interested in ideas with cultural relevance, strong visual identities and the ability to live across multiple formats.
