The hard news about demo reels is very few actually accomplish their goal of triggering emotion in viewers. Over the last 14 years Stash has featured only a handful of reels but we believe this new one from LA studio STATE is worth your time.

From STATE: “We don’t like to be judged by a style. Frankly, we don’t give a damn about finding one. It’s the beauty of breaking the status quo that gets us out of bed every morning.”
