Milan-based creative app studio Bending Spoons has laid off the entire staff of Filmic, which made popular video and photo editing apps such as Filmic Pro, per a report by PetaPixel<\/a>. Bending Spoons acquired Filmic last July and the move was announced in September<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the past few days, several<\/a> Filmic<\/a> employees<\/a> have posted about their departure on LinkedIn and X including CTO Christopher Cohen and COO Kevin Buonagurio. While Filmic\u2019s founder and former CEO Neill Barham hasn\u2019t posted anything about the development, his LinkedIn page<\/a> suggests he left the company in November 2023.<\/p>\n Bending Spoons didn\u2019t immediately comment on the story. It is not clear what the company wants to do with Filmic\u2019s apps. Notably, the Italy-based company also has a video editor called Splice<\/a>.<\/p>\n When Apple released the iPhone 11 series, Filmic was featured with its DoubleTake app<\/a> that used multiple cameras on the device simultaneously to capture footage.<\/p>\n Bending Spoons has a record of overhauling its properties after its acquisition. When it acquired Filmic, the Italy-based company introduced subscriptions instead of a one-time purchase price.<\/p>\n Last month, Bending Spoons-owned Evernote overhauled its free tier by restricting it to just 50 notes at a time<\/a>. In February, the company also laid off 129 of Evernote\u2019s staff after the note app was acquired last year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
