ALT Systems, a full service systems integrator and workflow solutions provider for the entertainment industry, has promoted Bruno Munger to Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the company. Munger will continue to manage ALT Systems‘ expansion of services, especially in the area of on-set dailies solutions, which he has fostered since joining the company in February 2011 as Director of Sales.
Munger has been working with ALT Systems‘ customers to design workflow solutions, integrate cutting-edge hardware and software systems, and adapt technical infrastructures for the most demanding post production and visual effects work. The proliferation of file-based workflows has fed the need for on-set solutions, and Munger has worked to manage the challenges that face facilities in today’s digital environments while solving the many technological and architectural challenges that drive this marketplace.
President Jon Guess of Alt Systems says, "Bruno has quickly and successfully integrated his post expertise and industry relationships with ALT Systems‘ long-standing, solid business offerings to ramp up our mobile dailies offerings along with all our high-quality solutions. As an established workflow provider with storage, networking and archive solutions, ALT Systems was well positioned to deal with the transition to file-based workflows. By adding Colorfront to our portfolio, we were able to support the rapidly evolving needs of our customers on set. As our company grows, we recognized that Bruno has the talent, skill and perspective to help our customers make these important changes, and to prepare ALT Systems for the future."
Munger adds, "Today’s facilities must succeed in a dynamic industry of emergent technologies, and ALT Systems is the glue to all elements from production to post. We know what customers need because of our experience on a number of different levels. When we take on a product, we support it fully, which means that movie, television, commercial and vfx companies can implement the systems they need in an efficient and cost-effective manner. We know we must enable our clients with the knowledge and the tools to succeed in a vigorous environment."
Munger brings nearly 20 years of experience to his expanded role, with specialties in workflow design for file-based image capture, file-based delivery, and 2D/3D digital intermediate. He has been involved in product management for such industry-leading companies as Image Systems (formerly Digital Vision), Autodesk, MTI, and Snell & Wilcox.

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.

Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
