Frank Lloyd Wright’s Houses To Be Turned Into Series & Films

EXCLUSIVE: Frank Lloyd Wright, the man dubbed the “greatest American architect of all time” by the American Institute of Architects, is set to have his iconic work turned into its own television series and films.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Los Feliz creation The Ennis House was used in Blade Runner. Now, The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has struck a deal with Galisteo Media to develop and produce content based on his work. This includes scripted series and films as well as non-fiction projects.

Galisteo Media, which was co-founded by Rob Rosenheck and Cindy Capobianco, stewards of The Ennis House, will have access to the IP of The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, including exclusive rights to produce content featuring Wright’s life and works in Los Angeles during his years there in the 1920s, the period when Wright created his iconic Mayan Revival textile block houses including The Ennis House, The Millard House in Pasadena, which was used in Westworld, The Storer House and The Freeman House in Hollywood as well as Hollyhock, which is LA’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The move comes as Frank Lloyd Wright continues to be represented in buzzy series. In Seth Rogen’s Apple comedy The Studio, the fake Continental Studios offices were described as designed by the architect in his “signature Mayan style”, while in FX’s The Bear, Jeremy Allen White’s Carmy visits his legendary Chicago home and studio in Oak Park, Illinois. 

The deal also gives The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation access to Galisteo Media’s network of creators, financing and distribution.

Galisteo Media produced and distributed the 2024 documentary, Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln.

“Frank Lloyd Wright was a giant. Not only did he influence the world of Architecture—his philosophy, expressed through his buildings has influenced the way we live, work and relate to both the built environment as well as the natural world. It’s long overdue that his remarkable life story is brought to the big screen,” said Galisteo Media’s CEO Robert Rosenheck.

“Rob and Cindy have been model stewards of the iconic Ennis House in Los Angeles. Their long history of philanthropy and storytelling makes them the perfect partners to illuminate Wright’s bold experimentation and innovation,” added Joseph Specter, the CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

Galisteo Media is represented for film and television by Anonymous Content’s Howie Sanders.
