    Brukman, De Biaggi and Pascuzzi launch Banquet VFX

    NEW YORK --

    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.”

    Theodor Pištěk, Czech Oscar-winning costume designer, dies at 93

    Theodor Pištěk, a Czech costume and stage designer and painter who won an Academy Award for his work on the 1984 film "Amadeus," has died. He was 93.

    His death was announced on Thursday by the town of Mukařov, just east of Prague, where he lived and was confirmed by his family to the local CTK news agency. They said he died on Wednesday but gave no other details.

    Pištěk's costumes appeared in the films of director František Vláčil from the end of 1950s, including "Marketa Lazarová" and "The Valley of the Bees," but his most famous work appears in the movies by late Czech-born director Milos Forman.

    The two became friends during their mandatory military service in communist Czechoslovakia.

    Forman ended up settling in the United States following the 1968 Soviet led invasion of Czechoslovakia, and while Pištěk remained in Czechoslovakia, they two nonetheless cooperated on films.

    Pištěk won an Academy Award for best costume design in multiple-Oscar winner "Amadeus," which was filmed in Czechoslovakia.

    As he accepted the award in 1985, he called it "the biggest and happiest day of my film career."

    Pištěk was also nominated for an Academy award for Forman's 1989 movie "Valmont." He won the the French Cesar award for that film.

    Pištěk and Forman also worked together on "The People vs. Larry Flynt."

    Pištěk was born on Oct 25, 1932, in Prague to parents who were both actors. He graduated from Prague's Academy of Fine Arts in 1958. Until the middle of the 1970s, Pištěk was also involved in motor racing as a driver and cars became a subject of paintings he made that were displayed in the United States and elsewhere.

    After the 1989 Velvet Revolution led by late Vaclav Havel that ousted... Read More
