Elevate Studios was founded in 2024 by Marlin Leighton Lofaro and Samuel Baumslag in Woodstock, NY. Samuel Baumslag’s natural abilities as a people person assisted him greatly in his background in hospitality and sales. Marlin Lofaro has been taking photos and making movies since he was a child. Lofaro’s narrative short films have earned him numerous awards and have screened at All American High School Film Festival, Woodstock Film Festival and more, both nationally and internationally.

With the goal of starting a business together, utilizing our talents we decided to begin providing small businesses with high quality social media content and more, at a local price.
