About

NCTS Group was formed in 2016 by animator, designer, musician and voice actor Chris Lowe, as "Chris L. Developments and Creative." When demand a more unique name arose, he came up with "NCTStudio" named after a company from one of his favorite movies, "Birdemic: Shock and Terror". The company's full name was "NitroCellulose Technologies". The company's logo was a bird, another allusion to Birdemic. In late 2022, Chris merged all his brands together into a bigger parent company, NCTS Group, with NCTStudio used as the primary production company for the group.

 

Chris spends most of his time in Tennessee, hanging out with friends, playing games or thinking about his next project. He dislikes travelling long distances, so he instead works in the main NCTS headquarters in Tennessee, hoping that one day it would become one of the most beloved small-time independent production companies on Earth, alongside A.K.A. Cartoon, Happy Madison, Twisted Pictures, Cartoon Pizza, Curious Pictures, Titmouse and Mercury Filmworks. Chris plans to make NCTS the first major production company in Tennessee outside of Nashville, though there has been talk about putting more locations across the country.

​

Most of NCTS' films and shows will be distributed by varying publishers, including Lionsgate, Paramount, Warner Bros., Shout! Studios and Sony Pictures. Some films, as well as games will be self-distributed and released by NCTS through a sister brand, Sanctuary Woods Entertainment. Many of the games will be made in Unity and/or Unreal Engine. Music by Chris' rock band, The Neverhood, will be released by Sanctuary Woods' music division, Sanctuary Woods Records, distributed by Epic Records (Sony Music) in Nashville, an acceptable trip of two-three hours from NCTS.

At NCTS Group, our goal is to provide great quality, low budget entertainment for everyone to enjoy. On any network, on any service, anywhere and anytime.
