Nik Pajic - Owner

Born to Serbian parents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Nik Pajic grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied English at the University of Cincinnati where he saw a production of Our Town at the College Conservatory of Music in his senior year which changed his trajectory from writing to acting. He studied at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting (NY), and is a graduate of the Maggie Flanigan Studio in New York City. He was recently seen in the film The Ice Cream Man, shortlisted for the 97th Oscars nomination portraying lieutenant Klaus Barbie receiving numerous awards including Best Short Film at Pittsburgh Film Festival.

It all changed. Casting agencies began asking actors to self-tape, shifting the weight — the lights, the sound, the framing, the editing, the polish— onto the performer. The number of true creative spaces dwindled, leaving many to chase perfection in the living rooms of our parents, and borrowed corners searching for a single empty wall to slate against. The craft became a juggling act. This transition led to a decline in professional self-tape studios in the area, even as actors faced greater pressure to manage every aspect of production themselves — often making the process chaotic and inconvenient. I wanted an environment first and foremost for artists to grow and risk. That’s where our studio comes in: to help you focus on one thing — your performance.

And if you need to play a tomato, then frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.
