Launching July 2026

Food content made for the way people watch now.

Savrli Studios is a food-first production company. We make original series, branded campaigns, restaurant stories, and creator-style UGC for brands, restaurants, hospitality groups, and platforms.

The studio

A food production company built for the new era of food media. Original series, branded work, creator-style UGC. All food, all built from the kitchen up.

Savrli Studios was not built in a boardroom. It was built in a kitchen. Founded by Norman "Kai" Lee in 2023, we partner with restaurants, food brands, hospitality groups, chefs, creators, and platforms to make content that feels real, social, and cinematic. Currently producing in nine countries.

Originals

Six original series in motion.

Our own slate. In production, in development, and now casting across Brooklyn, Lima, Panama, Mexico City, Miami, Los Angeles, and Marrakech. Distributed on the Savrli Network and partner platforms.

Norman Kai Lee, founder of Savrli Studios, in chef whites

Founder

Built from the kitchen up.

Norman "Kai" Lee spent two decades in hospitality before stepping behind the camera. He has built, operated, and advised restaurants across Italy, Myanmar, Mexico, and the U.S. He published "The Art of the Lease," a book on the document that controls a restaurant's survival, and built Lease IQ to teach operators how leases actually work.

In 2023 he started Savrli to make the food media the industry deserves. Studios produces the shows. Network distributes them. The App turns the storytelling into where to eat tonight. Self-funded. No board. Currently producing in nine countries.

More on the studio

What we make

Six service lanes. One taste.

From a single UGC clip to a six-episode series, every project goes through the same kitchen. Story-first, social-native, food-fluent.

02

Branded food campaigns.

Social-first campaign films, product launches, sponsored content, and brand storytelling. Built with the kitchen, not around it.

03

Restaurant and chef stories.

Mini-docs, profile films, menu features, and behind-the-scenes work for restaurants, chefs, and hospitality groups that have a story worth telling.

04

Short-form social video.

Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, vertical ads, recipe clips, trend-driven food content. Built for the feed, not retro-fitted for it.

05

Original food series.

Pilots, episodic formats, creator-led shows, and Savrli-owned programming. Six originals are already in motion. Co-productions welcome.

06

Content packages.

Monthly content production for brands that need consistent social assets. One contract, one team, one taste, on repeat.

Savrli UGC

Creator-style food content, at the scale brands need.

UGC is a Savrli Studios specialty. Authentic, creator-led food content that lives natively on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. We cast creators, scope shoots, and deliver edited, brand-safe, platform-ready clips in days, not months.

  • For food brands. Snack, beverage, pantry, frozen, and CPG launches that need creator-style proof at volume.
  • For restaurants. POV cooks, dish drops, and behind-the-pass content that builds local audience.
  • For delivery and hospitality platforms. Always-on creator content that performs in paid and organic feeds.
  • For chefs and food creators. White-label production support to scale your output without losing your voice.
