## The Studio

Robotic Donut started as a small idea and grew into a working production company. We produce and develop independent feature films, from thrillers and action to horror and comedy. On some projects we take a film from script to screen; on others we come in as executive producers alongside the filmmakers.

With films now streaming nationally and several more in production, we partner with filmmakers to make distinctive, genre-forward work. Our sister company is Bent Wrist Productions.

## Bent Wrist Productions

Our sister company, from the same team. A San Francisco production company making unapologetically queer films: comedy and horror with heart, humor, and a bit of sass. In development: **Fuggedaboudit!** (a puppet comedy directed by James Cullen Bressack), **Bears vs. Zombies** (horror comedy), and **Bears vs. Karen** (comedy based on their card game). Bent Wrist also makes games, and is home to **The Tracksuit** podcast.
