Start with something real
We understand the need before we choose the technology. Most of what we build starts from a friction we feel in our own work.
A small studio for software
and digital media.
Arcline Studio has been building since 2023. We make software, run our own media project, and build the tools that hold it all together.
Arcline Studio was founded by Mike T in Hanoi, Vietnam. It started from a simple idea: the best way to learn how to build for the web is to run something real on it.
That something became ReelDrop, a film site for trailer breakdowns, reviews, and streaming watch guides. Running a live publication taught us where the friction is — in planning, in preparing media, in the routine steps between an idea and a published page — and we started building tools to remove it.
Today the studio works across three areas: software development, internal tooling, and digital media. They feed each other. The site shows us what to build, the tools change how we publish, and both keep our engineering honest.
Make, test, refine
We prototype early, put things in front of real use, and improve in small steps. Progress beats unnecessary complexity.
Use AI thoughtfully
AI helps with research, drafting, and repetitive work. A person reviews what ships, and we stay honest about what the tools can and cannot do.
Keep it small
A small team means short conversations and clear ownership. We would rather do a few things well than many things halfway.

Studio work begins
Arcline Studio starts in Hanoi as a small team building software and experimenting with digital media.
- 2024
ReelDrop goes live
We launch ReelDrop, a film site for trailer breakdowns, reviews, and watch guides, as the studio’s public-facing project.
- 2025
Internal tooling
We build our own workflow tools for planning, media preparation, and publishing, with AI assistance and human review.

Growing the team
We launch the studio website and open roles in media, engineering, and brand.
A small team, on purpose.
The studio is led by Mike T, founder. We work as a small group with clear ownership and short feedback loops, and we are growing carefully across media, engineering, and brand.
