Illumination Cinema is a multimedia company in Wichita, KS with a strong focus on creating original animated films.
The group was started as a cloud-based team of filmmakers in 2013. Moore, Christopher Strong and Jamie Zin) all crossed paths while working on different jobs. Eventually, they were all brought together to work on what would become Illumination Cinema’s first project, BRIMSTONE TERR
ACE. 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. 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, simultaneously producing directorial debut short films for the new talent, including: ANOTHER DAY COLDER, HOW MUCH and FALLING OUT. As well as launching two comic book series, A SCRIPT CALLED MISERY and THE DOG PARK.
Although the lineup has changed, 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.
