The atelier
Workshops and residencies
The atelier is the hands-on side of the studio: making things with the people behind the places. It’s at proposal stage; nothing is scheduled yet, and we’ll list dates only when they’re real.
- Residencies
- A short stay that leaves a neighbourhood film, three interviews and a map. IsItFunky in Residence
- Workshops
- Small sessions for venue teams, built from Funk University tracks. The venue sells every drink; we never give wine away.
- Makers
- Objects made with independent studios and venues, objects only, never alcohol.

Price and terms
A paid pilot, then monthly
Prices are in US dollars, before tax. The proposal is the contract: it restates everything here for your project before anything is shot.
- Pilot
- From US$3,000 for one month of the full scope, paid up front.
- Monthly
- From US$3,000 a month after the pilot, if you both want to continue.
- Revisions
- Two rounds of changes on each edit. A reshoot is new scope.
- Rights and usage
- You can use the delivered clips, stills and page on your own channels (site, social, newsletter, in-house screens) for the term in the proposal. Paid media, third-party and out-of-home use are agreed in writing.
- Portfolio
- We may show the work as ours, always labelled as commercial.
- Travel
- Work in Montréal is included. Travel and lodging elsewhere are billed at cost, approved by you first.
- Paid amplification
- Not included. Scoped and priced separately, only where the distribution is real.
Labelling
Commercial work is labelled
Every Studio piece that runs publicly says it’s a paid partnership (“#pub / partenariat payé” in Québec). A complimentary stay or meal is production support, not payment, and is disclosed.
Independence
Editorial selection is never for sale
Clients can’t buy a place in Funk50, a guide, a proof stamp, the badge or a position on the map. Studio work sits beside the editorial, never inside it.
The report
What a monthly report covers
An outline, not a template of results: every number in a real report comes from a dated platform export.
- What we made
- Every clip, still and page, with links and delivery dates.
- Where it ran
- Your channels, and ours only if agreed, each post labelled as commercial.
- What happened
- Views, saves, shares and clicks from the platforms' own exports, dated. No estimated reach, no inflated totals.
- What we heard
- Comments, questions and messages worth knowing about.
- Against scope
- Deliverables promised versus delivered, revision rounds used, any extra costs.
- Next month
- The proposed story and what we'd change.

Questions
Before you ask
One month of the full scope, paid, from US$3,000. At the end you get the work and the report, and decide whether to continue monthly. No obligation to continue.
No. Editorial selection, proof stamps, the badge and placement are never for sale, to anyone. Studio work is labelled as commercial and kept apart from the selections.
Not by default. We sell the production and the creative. Paid amplification, and any posting on our own channels, is scoped and priced separately, and only offered where the distribution is real.
Ask us. Alcohol content has local rules (Québec's in particular), and we won't make anything that offers a free or discounted drink, says 'drinks on us', or ties drinking to sport or challenges.
Real people from the neighbourhood, with their written consent. When staff or locals appear in commercial work, they're paid and it's labelled.
Montréal first. Paris and New York are editorial for now; we take paid work there once local permissions are in place. Travel outside Montréal is billed separately, with your approval first.
Prices are in US dollars before tax. Applicable sales taxes are added to the invoice. We can quote in Canadian dollars.
