Studio Vision

At Makalla McPherson Studio, we create emotionally led, character-driven stories that dig beneath the surface. Our work is rooted in truth often the kind that’s uncomfortable, complex, or unsaid and always crafted with care, authorship, and integrity.

We centre Black and Global Majority characters in stories that explore not just survival, but what it means to live, break, rebuild, and choose differently. While our narratives may stem from trauma, they never end there. We’re drawn to the beauty within the cracks to silence, grief, shame, laughter, resistance, and love.

We don’t exploit pain.

We don’t tidy it up.

We write towards healing, not just endings.

Makalla McPherson Studio exists to tell stories that haven’t been told this way before authored from the inside out. We honour the emotional truth of our communities, and invite everyone not just those who’ve lived it to bear witness.
