We’ve had the opportunity to work with some incredible studios and brands this year! One of our favorites was creating designs for this year’s Academy Awards! We were able to work on the initial pitch for Imaginary Forces to Steven Soderbergh this year. Imaginary Forces went on to create some incredible graphics after they won the pitch for this year’s ceremony - knocking out some awesome work (as always)!
It was an absolute blast attending the FilmQuest Film Festival this year! Not only did we get to take a few pics on the red carpet, but our daughter did too! (Her first red carpet :)
Watching Tales from Black Manor with the audience at the festival was also extremely exciting. You watch your own film a thousand times, but the second the lights dim and the main title comes up, your heart starts beating and you notice every breath (or gasp).
We also had a chance to speak about what inspires us to be filmmakers and creatives as part of the Directors Panel Discussion. The other films that screened at FilmQuest this year were absolutely incredible (as always!) and we’re already looking forward to the 2022 fest.
