12 To 6 Studios, Llc

Our best work happens after midnight, sometime between 12 & 6am. Based in southern California, 12 to 6 Studios is on a mission to make politics entertaining through fun-filled games and other tech-inspired projects. The company was founded by brothers, Josh and Matt Axelman. In 2008, the Axelman brothers released a DVD titled Presidential Debates Gone Wild. It featured a compilation of the best moments from presidential debates as far back as the 1960s. For the two brothers, that project, however, was only the beginning. “After the debates of 2016, we knew it was time to finally build a game,” stated Josh. “People are now far more engaged in politics and civics than ever before.” Two years after releasing their first political-inspired DVD, Matt found himself re-living his 90’s childhood by playing Mortal Kombat on his iPhone. That’s when the idea of substituting presidents and vice presidents as game characters was born. Seven years later, the brothers are back once again with their newest political project, Blood of Patriots.
