From the beginning, Chase Jones has been dedicated to the craft of storytelling. He shot his first short-film, an entirely im. It was terrible. But the exhilaration that came with writing, improvising, and stepping into the role of a character was unlike any other he had ever felt, and so, he dedicated his life to writing great stories and embodying great characters.

No one works harder than Julie Copenhaver. No one. Julie began her career as a creative at a young age, building holiday displays in the front yard with her father. As an experienced art director and producer, she has a knack for building great teams, who together are capable of most anything. Her love of life and creativity brings light to every set; her mere presence boosts morale.


How the Team Came Together

Chase Jones and Aiden Pesesko have been friends for the better part of the last decade. They shot their first film together in the late summer of 2016, Die Hard 6: A Brother’s Revenge. It was silly, poorly planned, horribly acted, and it solidified their bond for years to come. Years later, Chase Jones would coin the name Black Dog Studios and model the logo after his beloved black labrador, Phineas. It stuck. Now, with the addition of Julie Copenhaver, two films have been produced under the brand, Roller Derby Queen and The New and Gently Used, with a third, Hound Dog, on the way. The new Black Dog Studios is the manifestation of a lifelong dream shared between friends, and with support from viewers like you, this big passion project may someday become a legitimate independent studio.
