About us

We're a tight team of filmmakers, product managers & engineers hailing from Google, Microsoft, and the MIT Media Lab, with short films that have premiered at Tribeca and the LA Film Festival. We're backed by investors like Y Combinator and titans from some of the largest film studios in Hollywood.

Backlot was featured a top startup in the YC S20 batch by TechCrunch and has a customer base that has been growing faster than we can handle since our launch. We've built a product that customers love and look forward to expanding our team!

Backlot has been used by large production companies and high profile creators like Wiz Khalifa .
