The NO Digital Agency
On its surface, The Art Thieves, is a high stakes thriller about an art heist. At its heart, this is a story exploring the lengths people are willing to go to take back their power.

Co-Director
Gracie Giffune is a Director based out of Los Angeles, CA. Her passion lies in directing strong narrative content, knowing that her life experience as a queer, neurodivergent woman lends itself to having a powerful and unique narrative voice.
Grace directed two episodes for the second season of the successful indie web-series Dead-Enders, a show about quirky and unlikely doomsday preppers following a zombie apocalypse. Her short film Bubbling Up, a sweet slice-of-life look at a long-term queer couple, has had four festival acceptances to date, winning the Audience Choice Award from the Queer 2 Queer festival.
When Gracie isn’t in the director’s chair, she can be found Gaffing, or as she embarrassingly says, “painting with light”. All in all, it’s her dream to be able to tell stories that suspend disbelief, take people on journeys, and leave audiences feeling like a part of themselves has changed when the credits roll.
Retired art thief Kya teams up with Mandi, a student saddled with medical debt, to steal the masterpiece of Kya’s former painting mentor. The robbery attempt plays out as a failure, yet ends with success.

The Art Thieves asks
How far are you willing to go to reclaim your power?
For far too long, people have been left out of art, society, and places of power because they don’t fit into the narrow box of white, straight, and able-bodied. No one’s ever gotten their power back from oppression by asking nicely - you have to be courageous enough to take it back. That’s exactly what The Art Thieves is all about, and that’s exactly the kind of art that we aim to create.
