“I am delighted to welcome Umedia Vancouver to the family,” said Umedia founder Adrian Politowski [pictured right].
“The world-renowned quality of Vancouver’s VFX and finishing artists, combined with an attractive tax incentive program, made the city an obvious choice. Our multinational network and commitment to creating an enjoyable work environment will give us a unique edge in the local post-production scene.”
Muyzers [pictured left] commented: “From on-set supervision to finishing and delivery, Umedia Vancouver offers an integrated approach for film-makers. We work closely with clients to bring their creative vision to life – on time. Between the talented team we have assembled and Umedia’s significant investment, we look forward to becoming a leader in Vancouver’s thriving post-production and VFX industry.”
