Oopsduck

Oopsduck is a collective of artists running a worker-owned creative studio. We are graphic designers, filmmakers, animators, and musicians who work under the same banner to better face the challenges of being freelancers, while also being able to fund, create, and publish our collective’s larger multimedia projects and surrealist productions. When we’re not serving our clients as a creative agency, we use film & animation, music, and interaction to uncover truth in the extreme ends of the human experience as a production studio. Inspired by local worker cooperatives like Red Emmas, Baltimore Bicycle Works, Joe Squared, and other companies that support working people, Oopsduck joins a larger movement to address wealth inequality by providing job and financial security in an equitable democratic workplace. We want to reap the benefits of Cooperatives in terms of democratic decision making, stable employment, creative freedom, and its many other strengths. Instead of focusing solely on maximizing profits, worker cooperatives tend to focus on maximizing income and meeting the needs of its members through joint-ownership.
