La Matta

What La Matta does

La Matta (legal name: La Matta TV) is a multidisciplinary creative studio founded in 2011 in London, UK, that produces visual effects, 3D animation, film production, sound design, sculpture, and event content for enterprise clients across entertainment, fashion, music, and consumer brand verticals. Core capabilities include VFX production (compositing, geometry tracking, flame compositing), 3D creature design and modeling (retopology, rigging, sculpting), end-to-end film production with direction and screenplay, music production, physical sculpture/model-making, animation, and design. Technical execution relies on standard creative production tooling rather than proprietary platforms, with project delivery frequently involving collaboration with specialized partners such as Atomo Vfx, Palantir, Inlusion, Keepcase Rigging Studio, CUBOCC, The Kumite, and Bossa Nova Filmes.

The studio operates a project-based services model with quote-based pricing and one-time project fees, with no disclosed recurring or subscription contracts. Its named client base includes fashion brands (Fila, H&Moschino), consumer brands (Tramontina), music artists (Fabri Fibra, Stani Labonia, Ana Mazzotti, Blondie, Tick Tock), and film producers (Diabolik feature film by Manetti Bros. with Mompracem and Rai Cinema, Festival Path 2018 with Bossa Nova Filmes). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct engagement, portfolio showcasing, and industry networking; marketing runs primarily through the studio's portfolio website (lamatta.tv), social media, and competition participation (e.g., My RØDE Reel).

La Matta maintains a tri-city footprint with offices in London (original headquarters), São Paulo, Brazil, and Rome, Italy, supported by active phone lines in both Brazil (+55 11) and Italy (+39). The business is organized under a single legal entity (La Matta TV) and operates as DBA variants including "La Matta" and "La Matta Film." It is founder-controlled and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or parent company relationships, and headcount sits in the 11-50 employee range, consistent with a small-to-mid-sized boutique production house.
