At Framestore, Brozenich will work alongside the company’s senior team of supervisors who have delivered Oscar and BAFTA-winning or nominated work such as Gravity, Blade Runner 2049, Christoper Robin, The Midnight Sky, Top Gun: Maverick, No Time to Die, The Dark Knight, Guardians of the Galaxy, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1, His Dark Materials as well as this summer’s pics Barbie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 and The Little Mermaid. He will report to Fiona Walkinshaw, CEO of film and episodic.
“While our industry is experiencing significant change we are making preparations to help our clients get back to business,” said Walkinshaw. “Gary is highly regarded by the studios, a valuable collaborator and creative problem solver, and someone I have been keen to work with for a long time. His appointment buoys an already accomplished team of supervisors and follows two senior hires in Montreal last month.”
Brozenich added: “Framestore has scale whilst having been judicious in its approach to growth, fostering teams and talent along the way to deliver exceptional work that I know clients, as well as myself, admire. With the capacity to deliver blockbuster projects and ability to shepherd shows from pre-production to post alongside some serious technical expertise, I’m ready to join the team.”
