FOLKS is proud to welcome the teams in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York and Vancouver with the rebranding of FuseFX. This marks a significant step in solidifying FOLKS' position as a North American leader in the global VFX landscape.
Over the past four years, FOLKS and FuseFX have been working closely together as sister brands within Pitch Black – sharing projects, aligning creative processes and unifying the pipeline. This collaboration has proven highly successful, and the decision to consolidate under one brand reflects the natural evolution of their partnership. By uniting teams, they are able to use their shared capabilities, technology and talent to deliver visual effects artistry across North America.
The new Burbank, California office is a testament to our vision for the future. Located next to Hollywood's studios, this hub puts them at the centre of the entertainment industry. It will allow them to foster deeper creative relationships and collaborate with the best local talent.
"FOLKS' presence in the United States is an incredible opportunity to work with top-tier talent, drive innovation, and build lasting partnerships like never before. We cannot wait to deepen our relationships with our clients by being on the ground and by working closely with the talented people who are driving the future of the VFX industry. We are very excited about what is to come," said Amélie Poitras, President of FOLKS.
To drive the growing presence in the US, we are thrilled to announce Johnny Fisk as our Executive Vice President. A Los Angeles native with decades of experience in VFX and animation, Johnny has spent his career within the entertainment world, most recently as President of FuseFX. His proven leadership and deep-rooted connections, with a clear focus on client relationships, will be instrumental in driving FOLKS' growth.
Sébastien Bergeron, CEO of Pitch Black, said, "FOLKS is now better equipped to provide efficient, seamless VFX services that meet the highest standards for their clients across the globe. This is just the beginning of an exciting year as we continually evolve Pitch Black's global creative capabilities across our 13 locations and brands, including FOLKS, Rising Sun Pictures and El Ranchito. We cannot wait to see where it takes us." folksvfx.com
