Made to be felt.
CINÉ is a creative house spanning studio commissions, artist residencies, and public cultural experiences. Our work takes many forms, but every expression of CINÉ is shaped by the same devotion to authorship, emotion, and craft.
We believe the most powerful work isn't only seen, but felt. A room. An image. A story. A world.
We shape those moments with enough beauty, care, and emotional force to linger.

OUR WORLD
CINÉ is built to hold more than one expression of the same artistic instinct. Through studio commissions, artist residencies, and public cultural experiences, we create work that is emotionally resonant, visually distinct, and shaped with uncommon care.
The studio creates commissioned campaigns, films, and environments for brands, institutions, and cultural partners who want more than content. The residencies create extraordinary conditions for artists to make ambitious, lasting work—that unites local communities in the process. Our public-facing experiences carry those worlds into life through exhibitions, screenings, performances, and events that invite others inside.
The work may change form, but the philosophy and standard of excellence remain the same. CINÉ is a house for beauty with depth, storytelling with atmosphere, and work designed to stay with people.

FOUNDER
CINÉ was founded by Kacey Gustafson, a creative director and stylist with roots in New York fashion and a background spanning styling, film, and visual storytelling.
She contributed to editorial work for Elle and Vogue and commercial projects for brands including Halston and Aritzia before moving into finance and strategy. After relocating to Charleston in 2023, she founded CINÉ as a return to the kind of work she has always cared most deeply about: ambitious creative ideas brought to life with beauty, rigor, and real care.
