Our Story
Life at Resistance Studios
At Resistance Studios, we embrace the challenges that come with filmmaking. Our process is deeply collaborative, demanding patience, precision, and creativity—qualities that shape the distinctiveness and strength of our work. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of animation by telling daring stories and blending traditional stop-motion craftsmanship with the latest technology. This fusion allows us to deliver original viewing experiences that captivate, excite, and move our audience. Every project is an opportunity for us to elevate our craft and explore new possibilities within the art of animation.
WHY PORTLAND?
Founded in Portland, LAIKA promotes the spirit of a city known for embracing the free-thinking, the counter-cultural, and the adventurous. We’re proud of our home, its history, and its culture. LAIKA wouldn’t be the same creative, industry-defining company if it was born anywhere else. We’ve embraced this culture internally, fostering an environment that supports and celebrates creativity. Wildwood, our upcoming feature, is set in a fictional version of Portland’s Forest Park, giving us an opportunity to share the spirit of our city with more people around the world.
