NDI Studios was founded in 2005 by James Garcia and Ben Degn, as a game design company.  Shortly after, however, it evolved into an independent production company and now focuses on web series, short films, video games, and music. NDI Studios is headquartered in Reno, NV, though Ben Degn has recently opened a branch in Arizona, where he is attending college.
NDI's Founders
James is an aspiring Director and a lover of filmmaking.  He is currently taking classes at TMCC towards the goal of getting a degree in film.  His scripts form the core framework of NDI's greatest work, and he has lead NDI to some great successes in film through his directing style.  He respresents all the film talent that makes up the greatness of the NDI Studios Dept.
Ben holds more of a talent for game design and composing music than film, but he still is a valuable member of the NDI Studios team.  Mostly, however, he focuses on the NDI Games and NDI Music Depts. where he functions as the director of both.  Now, he'll be heading up the NDI Arizona branch of NDI Studios, where he will be directing a whole new side of the traditional NDI Studios.
