Moorhead & Benson tapped into all kinds of visual trickery for @2k Borderlands 4 trailer “Quit Earth”. Great to see this one get the nod for a VFX AICP Award.
Want to see more? Hit up @framestore for the BTS!
@aaronmoorhead & @justinhbenson@skunkprods@2k
These two nominations really hit us in the heart. The two aspects of the film that make it so special. The performances ring true because the cause was so meaningful for John.

John Hillcoat re-teams with Wieden+Kennedy to show that Ford is a brand that doesn’t just talk about capability - it lives it.
To authentically capture the work performed by Search & Rescue, crews spent three days in Utah across four real-life rescue missions which inspired the films.
The result is cinematic storytelling highlighting human capability in extreme circumstances.

After our #Oscars lead-up screening of TRAIN DREAMS, Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar had a conversation with the audience that touched on all facets of the production; from adapting Denis Johnson’s novella to the gorgeous cinematography of Adolpho Veloso to the masterful production design of Alexandra Schaller to the music of Bryce Dessner and Nick Cave.
But the moment everyone will remember was when Greg and Clint shared about their 15 year friendship.
