If you ever wondered how your favorite shows and movies actually get made, that sequence where the camera moves just so, or the actor’s subtle pause that nails a tear, you’re in luck. This October, Impact24 PR invites you to go behind the camera at NY Comic Con 2025. We’re talking real insider sessions with writers, VFX artists, makeup pros, editors, composers—people whose names you might not know, but whose work you feel every frame.
