Beauceron
is an independent
production studio based in New York. It makes stories for children and adults, across film and television, children's books, and audio.
The studio is not built around a genre or a format. It is built around a question: what does it feel like to be genuinely seen? Not fixed. Not explained. Seen.
Everything made here is the same gesture repeated: here is what it means to be human, right now, in this body, in this relationship, in this longing, in this fear, in this joy. Not trying to resolve anything. Just trying to make you feel less alone in the unresolved.
WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM
A Beauceron is a French herding dog. Loyal, perceptive, present. It leads by paying attention. It doesn't bark unnecessarily. It is fully in the room without overplaying it.
The name comes from Magali Guidasci, a collaborator and costume designer arjun lost. She was the one who saw this quality in him and gave it a name. He kept it because it holds him to something — a code they shared about what stories are for and how they deserve to be made.
How it works?
There is no fixed plan. The studio follows what is alive and trusts the people who make things with it. The work spans from a picture book about a chef who breathes through her feelings to a short film about a man confronting what he left behind. The connective tissue is not the format. It is the question each piece is asking.
Beauceron is early. The not-knowing is part of it.
MIND BEHIND BEAUCERON
About Arjun
Arjun Gupta spent five seasons as a series regular on The Magicians on Syfy, and has worked across television and film for the better part of two decades, with credits on Nurse Jackie, How to Get Away with Murder, and others. He trained as an actor at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York, where he now serves as Board Chair of the Stella Adler Center of the Arts.
Before that, and alongside it: he hosted the podcast American Desis, exploring what it means to grow up between cultures. He co-founded Ammunition Theatre Company in Los Angeles, a space built around the belief that theater should be alive to the moment it's being made in. He produced short films, then micro-films for a lifestyle brand he co-created with his wife and a close friend, learning through that work what it meant to build something from the inside rather than show up for someone else's vision.
That learning led to Fontainhas, the wine bar he co-founded in DUMBO, Brooklyn, and to Fonty's Deli and Dukaan in the West Village. And to Beauceron, the studio where all of it converges.
The thread through all of it: he is drawn to work that doesn't look away. Characters in the middle of something real. Stories that hold the contradiction rather than resolve it. He is interested in presence more than performance, in what happens when you stop trying to manage the moment and just let it be what it is.
He is a father and a husband. His wife put it best: the heart of a child, the mind of an adult. He also does an excellent Cookie Monster impression.
Beauceron is where all of it lives.
