We Made A Thing Studios

What We Made A Thing Studios does

We Made A Thing Studios, trading under the legal entity Wemat Studios, is an Australian creative production company founded in 2017 and based at Adelaide Studios in Glenside, South Australia. The studio operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees and is privately held and founder-owned, with no institutional investment disclosed. It positions itself around creative development, virtual production, and multi-platform storytelling, serving as a production services partner for screen and content projects.

The company's core offering is project-based creative and technical production services rather than a software product or recurring platform. Its stated capabilities span virtual production workflows and narrative work across multiple platforms (film, digital, and adjacent formats). It has extended its commercial surface through a merchandise e-commerce channel built on Fourthwall, enabling direct-to-consumer sales of branded goods alongside its services work. No partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or leadership changes are publicly disclosed.

The business model is primarily services-based: revenue is generated through production fees tied to individual projects, augmented by a modest merchandise side channel. With no disclosed customers, no enterprise contracts, and no platform or subscription revenue, customer-level visibility is limited and revenue predictability is tied to project pipeline rather than recurring commitments. The company operates in the Australian indie and boutique production segment, leveraging South Australia's screen industry infrastructure.
