NEW YORK CITY - Banquet VFX (www.banquetvfx.com) is a new boutique post production studio that's dedicated to providing exceptional creative service. Founded by industry veterans Justin Brukman, Camila De Biaggi and Matt Pascuzzi, the studio champions a lean, handcrafted approach - a contrast to what its principals see from studios offering scale and automation, or speed that sometimes eclipses service. The studio’s founders believe service isn’t a relic of the past, but a strategic advantage that builds trust, deepens collaboration and elevates the final product.

“The ‘bigger-is-better’ model often ends up watering down the creative and the outcome,” explains Matt 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,” adds Camila De Biaggi, Banquet’s executive producer and co-founder. “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.”
Justin Brukman serves as managing director and rounds out the team of partners.
“We’re building Banquet to be the studio we always wanted to work with,” he notes. “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 “Banquet” name is meant to reflect the studio’s core philosophy: "a place of gathering, purpose and joy." As the trio explain, they want every client’s experience to feel “shockingly nice and easy.”
The contact address for Banquet is 28 W. 25th Street, 3rd Floor.
