OG Network Partners with Lovelace Films to Launch OG Network Studios in St. Louis

OG Network is taking a major step forward in original content production with the launch of OG Network Studios, a new 14,000-square-foot production facility in St. Louis, Missouri, created in partnership with Lovelace Films.

The facility will serve as the home base for OG Network’s growing slate of original films, television projects, and scripted content, marking a significant expansion of the network’s commitment to creating and owning original programming.

Leading the studio’s production efforts is filmmaker Craig Thomas, who has been named Head of Production for OG Network Original Content. Thomas is already hard at work developing the studio’s first feature project, the horror film Hospice, which he also wrote and will direct.

Set to become one of the first major productions developed through the new studio, Hospice signals OG Network’s continued expansion into genre filmmaking while maintaining its focus on compelling storytelling and independent creative voices.

In addition to Hospice, OG Network Studios has announced plans for Don’t Get It Twisted, a six-part urban anthology series hosted by Ice-T. The series will feature six standalone stories, each delivering its own unique twist while exploring suspense, mystery, and the unexpected.

Production for Don’t Get It Twisted will take place both on location throughout St. Louis and inside the new OG Network Studios facility, further establishing the city as a key production hub for the network’s future projects.

Beyond film and television production, OG Network Studios plans to create opportunities for the local community by developing initiatives designed to involve St. Louis residents both in front of and behind the camera. The studio’s vision includes creating pathways for actors, filmmakers, crew members, and aspiring creatives to gain experience and participate in professional productions.

With a dedicated production facility, an ambitious slate of original projects, and a commitment to community involvement, OG Network Studios represents a major investment in independent entertainment and the future of content creation in St. Louis.

As production ramps up on Hospice and Don’t Get It Twisted, the launch of OG Network Studios marks the beginning of a new chapter—one focused on original storytelling, local talent, and building a lasting creative footprint in the Midwest.
