This Covid summer was spent crafting 14 different spots for Citizen Verizon along with our talented collaborators at Verizon Brand Citizens and Hecho Studios. Thanks to our extended Hecho and Verizon Brand Citizens teams. I’m told they’re airing on CNN incessantly. Our apologies about that, but they don’t include us in those decisions. 😜

Raffi Simonian created this theatrical logo for The Safran Company (TSC) with Filmograph. If you’re a horror fan, you may have already caught it at the beginning of last year's "Annabelle Comes Home" and "The Nun". We were fortunate in this instance that Peter Safran was open to breaking away from the typical shiny studio-logo aesthetic. He allowed us to experiment with a more abstract and evocative approach, setting the tone for the films that follow.

Thanks always to Filmograph's Aaron Becker and Seth Kleinberg for their creativity and support throughout.

A while back, Raffi Simonian directed this piece at Hecho Studios for RealD. Together with our dearest and endlessly-talented friends at Filmograph, we created this theatrical logo in 4k 120fps stereoscopic 3D 👓. Those tech specs alone should be enough to grab your attention. Hopefully one day soon we’ll be able to go back into theaters and experience it in the way it was intended.

Sincerest thanks to the entire team & Mike Irvin at RealD, who all worked very hard to finish this piece.

A few months back, we collaborated with Citizen Film on a Times Square installation that was aimed at shedding light on the refugee experience. There are now 22.5 million refugees around the world, and their stories are important when deciding what kind of world we want going forward. We are proud to share this project with everyone.
