NEW PROJECTS COMING SOON
Cinemat Studios is a young adult filmmaking creation team that was established in 2014. We have gone through three names with our most recent being Cinemat Films. The change to Cinemat Studios from Cinemat Films was conceived as an idea as we began branching out from making only films to making online webisodes and several miniseries. Nowadays, we make our own original short films, web-series, skits, sketches, and eventually even a few feature length films. Created by Brandon Andrella in 2014, the team has continually grown and changed over time, and we are always accepting new members in any capacity. Feel free to sign up today using this link: HERE. Additionally, we have an annual announcement day where we announce major updates on our projects. There are also more occasional posted updates from time to time to keep our viewers updated on our upcoming projects and projects that are actively releasing.
We initially made improvised comedy skits that eventually evolved into scripted projects. Follow us on our socials and/or our email list to keep up to date on our current and upcoming projects (the email list is currently needs a bit more subscribers to be a regularly used service). In honor of those who helped lay the building blocks (in any way) of Cinemat Studios, the following individuals are recognized here: Sabrina Abruzzi, Malina Andamasaris, Eva Andamasaris, Gavin Andamasaris, Brandon Andrella, and Ryan Carnahan.
Currently the creative director of Cinemat Studios is a college student associated with the University of Akron’s Z-TV program (since January 2025) and is an active member of their programming for the show “Akron After Hours” as one of the main sketch writers/editors/directors/actors.
In 2025 we released our first reality-comedy series, "Fire Camp" which had great successes! This project stars Madylin Marinkovich, Annetta Sanders, Chase Simmons, Brandon Andrella, Alexa Henry, Camryn Brainard, Elizabeth Ferrell, and Dylan Smith. Due to the success of this project there is a potential opportunity to create more projects around this brand/style of project.
The years of 2026 and onward, are going to bring in a new change for Cinemat Studios. We plan to release as many as 8 short films in 2026 as well as some feature film projects, web-series, mini-series, and more! We hope you stick with us to see what we've been cooking up!!
