We had the pleasure of spending the day on the sofa with three icons - Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer - ahead of the release of their new @AppleTV Original Film: ‘Outcome’
Produced by 1983 with a specially designed set inspired by the aesthetic, color palette and lighting of the movie.

In celebration of humanity and human touch, the defining theme of this year’s #Oscars, 1983 partnered with the Academy to create a series of specially filmed, handcrafted intros for select nomination packages.
Designed as artful, tactile vignettes, each piece brings the audience closer to the unseen hands behind the work, offering a brief but intimate glimpse into the craft, care, and creativity that shape each category. Displayed both on stage and broadcast globally, the films serve as a quiet tribute to the artists at the heart of filmmaking.

1983 was proud to co-produce select segments for the 98th #oscars. This included a series of specially crafted in-show film shoots designed to bring the idea of human craft to life on screen, alongside crafting the deeply moving In Memoriam sequence featuring Billy Crystal, Rachel McAdams, and Barbra Streisand.
We’re incredibly grateful to @theacademy and the show’s producers for the trust placed in our team, and for the opportunity to help shape a show that continues to push the boundaries of what this stage can be.

The city was under attack last night. Team 1983 was thrilled to help bring a record-breaking stunt activation to life for the new season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+.
With over 3,000 drones flying in choreographed formation 600 feet above the Los Angeles skyline, Godzilla, King Kong, and a brand-new monster unleashed havoc in a colorful, explosive visual spectacle that grabbed attention from every corner of the city.

This year has been a wild ride — bigger, bolder, more adventurous, and more creatively fulfilling than anything we’ve done before.
But beyond the awards and viral moments, what we’re most proud of is staying true to the values we set from day one; Keeping human craft at the center of everything we do.
So, to our hard working film crews who helped make over 100 shoot days run flawlessly: thank you.
To our team of producers, directors, illustrators, motion designers, editors, VFX artists, animators, photographers, sound designers, music composers, and collaborators across every continent of the globe who have helped us deliver a record breaking 126 projects this year: we couldn’t do this without you.
And to our fearless clients — thank you for saying yes to our crazy ideas, trusting the process, and pushing creative boundaries with us again and again.
Here’s to everyone who’s been part of the journey this year — and wishing you a brilliant 2026 ahead.

We shared the magic of Christmas with the most unhappy character in the world.
To promote the new series Pluribus on @appletv , we created a playful, in-world short where Carol—played by the incredible @rheaseehorn —comes face to face with eight hauntingly committed carolers.
Shot, edited, and posted in just 72 hours, this 1983 production was a mini Christmas miracle. 🎄✨

Another project captured 100% in-camera. Sony Pictures asked us to refresh their visual identity, and we pitched doing it the old-fashioned way. We built their iconic studio logo in four-foot, hand-crafted steel, suspended it mid-air, and captured it in macro detail using a motion-control robotic camera system.
Most crucially, we honored the studio’s tentpole theatrical releases and genres by projecting custom, high-resolution content onto a 50-foot video wall behind the logo—allowing us to capture authentic, realistic reflections and create a fully immersive image that seamlessly blends brand and story. In the spirit of practical filmmaking, we even dripped fake blood down the steel logo to bring the horror genre to life—no shortcuts, no CG.
The final content premiered globally, playing live at CinemaCon inside Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, and traveling as far as Bangkok—proof that old-school craft still hits, everywhere.

We partnered with @chrishemsworth , his production company @wildstateprod , and @elilillyco to create three short films that explore what it’s really like to live with Alzheimer’s — told through the eyes of those facing the disease and the families who walk beside them every step of the way.
Directed by 1983’s own @mrjacobpatrick , these stories shine a light on resilience, love, and the quiet courage it takes to keep going.
Watch the full films now on Chris Hemsworth’s YouTube channel, and catch the TV special that inspired them — A Road Trip to Remember — streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu .
