Boutique postproduction studio Banquet VFX–founded by industry vets Justin Brukman, Camila De Biaggi and Matt Pascuzzi–has officially opened its doors.
The ‘Bigger is better’ model often ends up watering down the creative and the outcome,” said Pascuzzi, Banquet’s creative director and co-founder. “Banquet is built to be the alternative. We’re staying small on purpose, so we can stay excellent on purpose. Our clients work directly with senior talent, and they feel that difference in the final product.”
“When you work with us, you know who’s behind the curtain,” said exec producer and co-founder De Biaggi. “We’ve built our careers on long-term partnerships with directors and agencies who value a blend of artistry and accountability. At Banquet, we’re putting the creative experience first.”
“We’re building Banquet to be the studio we always wanted to work with,” said Brukman, managing director and co-founder. “A place where clients feel seen, supported, and creatively empowered—where the work comes first, not the politics or the process. Our goal is to deliver world- class results with a team that’s agile, experienced, and fully invested in every project.”
The name “Banquet” reflects the studio’s core philosophy: a place of gathering, purpose, and joy. It’s a celebration of craft and creativity–never excess. For the founders, it’s also a mindset: thoughtful, generous, and human. “The name felt right because there’s something generous about it,” shared Brukman De Biaggi and Pascuzzi in a joint statement. “A sense of care, intention, and enough room at the table for everyone to bring their best.”
