Background

In 2006, Alex Laferriere and Nick Allain and their group of close friends started creating films under the banner of Broken Wall Films, after the collapse of Project Zombie, a zombie horror short film that never finished production while the group was known as Collective Studios. Most of its early productions were shorts and short films written and directed by Laferriere and produced by Allain. In 2009, Broken Wall Films released Something Remote, its first feature-length film, and since then has expanded into web series, video game cutscene, and podcast production. The Command & Conquer 3 mod The Forgotten is the first Command & Conquer mod to include full-motion video, as produced by Broken Wall Films.
Broken Wall Films frequently employs a repertory set of actors that consist of the company's friends and family. The group's films have featured a multitude of recurring actors including Rebecca Davis, Dustin Deren, Rick Desilets, Jacob Grzyb, C/J Haley, Matt Heron-Duranti, Eric Kolodziecjzak, Mallory Laferriere, Sarah Neslusan, Rayne Purcell, John Selig, Brandon Vogel, Andrew Wilkins, and Jon Zoll.
On January 8, 2011, following an episode in which frequent Broken Wall Films contributor Rick Desilets announced his own podcast, The D-Pad, Laferriere and DiTullio officially announced PodSmiths, a subsidiary network of Broken Wall Films for the production and distribution of podcasts. Along with Open Lounge and The D-Pad, Nick Allain will also host a podcast called Paradox Today, and Laferriere will additionally host an informative podcast called Coffee Jive. The PodSmiths network launched on February 3, 2011.
