About Latch & Key
Latch & Key was an Atlanta-based creative content studio and commercial video production collective working across live action, motion design and visual effects. Its work brought together commercial filmmaking, art direction, cinematography and digital design for agencies, brands and cultural institutions.
The boutique's services spanned creative direction, film and commercial production, editorial, visual effects compositing, post-production and 3D design. Its portfolio combined filmed material with motion graphics and visual design, encompassing brand films, broadcast promotions, music videos and interactive installation content.
Commercial and creative work
Between 2016 and 2019, the collective developed a commercial and design portfolio that included projects for Tate Museum London, CNN, BMW, Nike, IBM THINK and the Golden State Warriors. Other commercial work included Carvana, Vidal Sassoon, Hanes and Alternative Apparel. These projects placed the studio across advertising, arts and culture, fashion, consumer goods and technology.
Its broader output included the Nike Fearless campaign, on-air promotional design for Nat Geo: Genius: Picasso, motion design for an interactive Zaha Hadid installation and music video production for Black Asteroid. Independent film projects associated with the banner included the feature drama A Band of Rogues and the cultural short I HEART NY.
Latch & Key operated as an independent creative collective and production banner. Its historical portfolio documented a practice spanning commissioned commercial content and independent filmmaking, with production and post-production capabilities presented together.
More about Latch & Key
Creative leadership
The collective was led by director, cinematographer and motion design art director Christian Haberkern, a Savannah College of Art and Design alumnus, alongside director/producer Tim Jara Morgan. By the November 2026 research date, Haberkern had moved to an Art Director role at Perception.
Operating approach
The studio described its approach as working with agencies and brands across different budget levels, positioning budget flexibility as part of its production offering.
Recognition associated with its films
I HEART NY was a Tribeca Film Festival Official Selection and received Vimeo Staff Pick recognition. A Band of Rogues, directed by Tim Jara Morgan, received encore screenings at the Atlanta Film Festival and premiered internationally at the Madrid International Film Festival. These distinctions concern the films, rather than awards conferred on the studio itself.
