VFX giant Framestore, whose recent projects include “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness,” “Moon Knight” and Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming biopic “Elvis,” is expanding its Canadian footprint.
The Oscar, Emmy and BAFTA-winning creative studio has hired Melinka Thompson-Godoy (pictured above right) as the head of its Montreal studio while expanding Chloe Grysole’s role from managing director of its Montreal studio to managing director of film and episodic, which will see her remit expanded to the Vancouver studio as well.
Grysole (above left), who has been with Framestore for over four years, will be tasked with overseeing both studios’ growth and “ensuring they operate in creative and technological lockstep.” Before joining Framestore, Grysole was general manager of Cinesite’s Montreal facility and spent 15 years producing VFX on blockbusters including the Harry Potter franchise and James Bond film “Skyfall.”
