Illumination Cinema is a multimedia studio in Wichita, KS with a strong focus on creating original films.
The group began as a cloud-based team of filmmakers in 2013. Three writers attempting to get freelance work (Tyler W. Moore, Christopher Strong and Jamie Zin) all crossed paths while working on different jobs. Eventually, they came together to work on what would become Illumination Cinema’s first project, a web series called BRIMSTONE TERRACE. It was at some point during the production of this series that they all had the same idea: form a studio. They expanded their efforts to create short films, the ILLUMINATION CINEMA MOVIE PODCAST and their first live action feature, LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT. A couple years later, the team expanded and centralized in Wichita, KS where they worked on their first animated feature, LEFT HOOK and two live-action features soon after with WISH YOU WERE HERE and PERSONAL HISTORY. All the while, producing directorial debut short films for the new talent and launching two graphic novels. In recent years, the studio has continued to take on new challenges and work with other filmmakers on various projects. They embraced a new medium with the documentary feature A COMPLEX HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES and returned to the world of BRIMSTONE TERRACE in a new animated feature film. Although the lineup has changed over the years, the goal remains the same: to come together to bring each other’s visions to life and create new, original content in various mediums. Whether it be, animation, live-action, podcasts or comics, there is always something being produced. |
