Seasoned executive producer John Hollingsworth and accomplished director Matt Genesis announce the launch of Late Shift, a production company born from their years of collaboration and shared passion for craft-focused filmmaking.
With a hands-on approach and a commitment to maximising on-screen value for their clients, Late Shift blends strategic innovation with time-tested methods to bring creative visions to life.
“Starting Late Shift with Matt feels like the natural next step in our longtime partnership,” shares Hollingsworth. “Late Shift is our opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to filmmaking, where every detail matters, every production is handled with care, and the craft is honoured through traditional techniques without shortcuts. We’re passionate about creating work that stands the test of time, not just chasing trends, and setting a high standard for creativity and collaboration along the way.”
Late Shift features a creatively powerful Director Roster, which includes: Matt Genesis, scout, Sarah Jacquier, GoshDamn, Jonas McQuiggin, and Lavender & Ravenscroft, with more Director signings coming in early 2025.
“John and I first worked together years ago on a challenging Casper campaign where a Nor’easter dropped three feet of snow on our already ambitious shoot,” shares Genesis.
“Despite the chaos, we quickly found that we thrive under pressure and work even better together when stakes are high. Starting Late Shift with John feels natural, we share a passion for thoughtful, detail-driven filmmaking and want to create a company that reflects that. Late Shift is about working hard, solving problems, and collaborating with people you’d stay up late with to get it done right.”
Late Shift is represented by Commonwealth on the East Coast, SG+Partners in the Midwest, and Ripple Reps on the West Coast.
