Matinee 2025 by LastBench Studio
Every year, we gather friends, collaborators, and curious folks to share what we have been up to.
Films, design, and stories that kept us awake, made us think, or simply reminded us why we do what we do.
This year, we are flipping the script. Instead of featuring categories like live-action or animation, we are sharing answers to three questions that we get asked a lot as a studio:
What do you do?
Who do you do it with?
How do you do it?
It’s a showcase, a reflection, and a bit of a hangout, all rolled into one.
What’s Playing
This year’s Matinee brings together a mix of new releases, collaborations, and short originals.
Expect glimpses from projects made with changemakers, brands, and creators who’ve trusted us to bring ideas to life.
And yes, a few surprises are best experienced in the dark.
