Bending Spoons has laid off all of the staff behind mobile filmmaking app Filmic Pro, including Filmic CEO Neill Barham. Christy Keenan, a spokesperson for Bending Spoons, confirmed the layoffs in an email to The Verge, saying that “all 22 members of the original Filmic team” were laid off in November and Filmic “has now been fully integrated into the Bending Spoons platform.” PetaPixel first reported the layoffs on Friday.
