Casey Affleck recently unveiled his latest film, Company, at the prestigious Venice Film Festival. The movie features his two sons, Indiana and Atticus, marking a significant family collaboration in the project. The 22-year-old Indiana, Casey's eldest child with his ex-wife Summer Phoenix, joined his father on the red carpet, accompanied by his uncle Ben Affleck and Casey’s partner, Caylee Cowan. Indiana, who has previously modeled for high-end brands like Bode and GQ, appears alongside his younger brother Atticus, who has a more prominent role in the film.
Company received a warm reception at its premiere, with the audience giving it a four-minute standing ovation. The film is set across multiple time periods, beginning with a mysterious woman named Evelyn arriving uninvited at a holiday gathering on a cold winter night in 1975. The cast includes notable actors such as Nick Nolte, Adelaide Clemens, Scoot McNairy, Emily Alyn Lind, and Ben Mendelsohn.
This project marks Casey Affleck’s third feature film as both writer and director, and it was a full family effort behind the scenes. Ben Affleck, 54, co-produced the film through his company, Artists Equity, which he runs with Matt Damon. Casey cast his girlfriend, Caylee Cowan, 28, as well as both of his sons. Atticus took time off from high school during spring break to film his scenes, while Indiana remained on set for the entire production, working in various departments in addition to appearing on camera.
At a press conference before the premiere, Casey described working with his children as one of the “best professional experiences” of his life. He noted that his sons had a natural grasp of the film industry, having grown up immersed in it. Casey also mentioned that his father had worked in theater for many years, and he felt the artistic legacy had been passed down to his sons. The film is dedicated to Casey and Ben’s parents, who both passed away this year. Their mother, Chris, died at 83 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, while their father, Timothy, was revealed to have died in 2026.
