The strategic move is designed to better serve Toronto clients and estab- lish a fully-integrated hub for high-end picture and sound services for both feature films and television. With this integration, the creative excellence for which Formosa Group is known will continue under the Picture Shop name. Formosa Group will continue to service clients across its other locations globally. As managing director, Jane Tattersall will contin- ue to lead Picture Shop's Toronto-based opera- tions, ensuring continuity, excellence and creative leadership through this new chapter. "By merging Formosa Group's esteemed Toronto team into Picture Shop, clients can access industry-leading artists and an integrated full-ser- vice offering — editorial, color, VFX, sound — in one facility," says Bill Romeo, CEO and founder of Picture Shop. "Under Jane's leadership, we're excited to better position ourselves for our valued clients in Toronto." The integration aligns with the company's upcoming relocation to Toronto's new facility at 30 Adelaide Street East in the downtown area. The new editing suites and color grading facilities will be met with seven mix stages and an ADR studio in the coming weeks. "It's an exciting time for our team in Toronto as we implement our vision within a community that values collaboration, innovation and excellence," says Tattersall. "We will continue to build our team into something truly special for our creatives and our clients." YACHT CLUB ADDS TALENT, EXPANDS SERVICES BROOKLYN, NY — Yacht Club (yachtclubfilms.com), which has editing suites in Brooklyn, as well as a virtual production facility in Blauvelt, NY, recently expanded its services by offering its expertise to agencies and brands as a standalone creative service or integrated with production. "Increasingly, clients are looking for partners who can operate from both a creative and efficiency mindset," explains Zach Law, head of post/founding partner of Yacht Club. "We make sure that everything is considered, from technical to exploring the creative, to make sure the best options end up on- screen. With post, we always just focused on supporting our own productions. And while we are still doing that and growing, with our expansion of our post department, we are able to bring that experience to other folks as well." On the producing side is Zac "Gobetz" Gobetz, who brings 15 years of expe- rience from time with Company 3, Movement Strategy and PostWorks. Integral to Yacht Club's post offerings is Aria Yagobi, who has served as an editor for the past four years, cutting spots for a wide range of clients, including Baskin Robbins, Bud Light and Gillette. Newly joining the editorial team is Jacqueline Xerri, whose work spans commercials, music videos and narrative/documen- tary film. Her commercial clients include Etsy, Dunkin', Vagisil, Architectural Digest, The North Face and Pure. Award-winning 3D motion designer Amin Ashtar Ali is also a recent addition. As a VFX artist, Ali brings diverse experience in 3D pipeline work to tabletop filmmaking, where he integrates a range of post production disciplines, includ- ing 3D asset creation, animation and compositing. "We want to offer a production solution that helps elevate the creative with- out overcomplicating the process, which is ultimately what this expansion is all about," says Law. "Just as important, we want people to enjoy their time with us and to feel how much we care about going above and beyond for our clients." Yacht Club's (L-R) Gobetz, Xerri, Yagobi, Law and Ali.
