Stephen A. O’Hearn, CPT

CEO and Founder

Combat veteran. Tech strategist. Multimillion-dollar project leader. From designing battlefield triage systems to driving mission analytics for U.S. Space Command, I’ve led operations where precision, clarity, and reliability weren’t just goals—they were essential for survival.

Those experiences forged an obsession: to build systems that cannot fail when people depend on them.

Now, I’m channeling that same discipline, innovation, and mission-driven leadership into StudioXen Studios—an all-in-one filmmaking platform that is AI-powered, designed to eliminate chaos, empower creators, and protect their work.

By merging military-grade precision with cinematic imagination, StudioXen Studios transforms how stories are planned, produced, funded, and safeguarded. It’s more than just a filmmaking software platform—it’s a new operating system for independent film production.

My mission has always been the same: to protect people and empower them to succeed—whether on the battlefield or in the world of art and storytelling. Now, I’m applying that precision to help creators take their projects from script to screen, ensuring they forge the films they were meant to make.

Testimonials

“StudioXen didn’t just speed up our workflow—it fundamentally changed how we think about production.”We went from a fragmented mess of spreadsheets, emails, and third-party tools to a single, coherent system that actually understands filmmaking. Script changes ripple instantly through schedules, budgets, and storyboards. It feels less like software and more like a production brain.

Independent Feature Director

“This is the first platform I’ve seen that respects both creativity and compliance.”Union rules, rate calculations, documentation—normally these slow everything down or get handled dangerously late. StudioXen embeds compliance directly into the creative workflow without killing momentum. That alone makes it indispensable.

Line Producer, Union & Indie Projects

“From an investor standpoint, StudioXen dramatically reduces uncertainty.”Clear budgets, traceable AI usage, realistic schedules, and vetted projects all in one place is a game-changer. It creates confidence without sanitizing the creative edge. This is exactly what independent film financing has been missing.

Private Film Investor

“StudioXen feels like studio-level infrastructure finally made accessible to independents.”We’re getting tools that used to require entire departments—storyboarding, scheduling, budgeting, HR—without needing a studio bureaucracy. It restores control to filmmakers while raising the professional bar.
