Hollywood post facility Light Iron announces that Paul Geffre has returned to its team, joining fellow post producers Des Carey and Katie Fellion. Geffre will lead the company’s efforts to grow their episodic television department. Paul comes to Light Iron from Stereo D (Deluxe 3D) where he was a Stereoscopic Producer. While at Stereo D he successfully led the stereoscopic 3D conversion for multiple studio features including “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, “Thor” and “The Green Hornet.”
Geffre has had a prolific career in the entertainment industry, beginning first in finance after graduating from UC Davis with a degree in economics and a minor in theater. He co-founded Theater Alchemy, a Sacramento-based theater company, and eventually moved to the Los Angeles area to pursue a career in acting. “I quickly learned that there was a lot more to the filmmaking process I liked,” said Geffre. He started his own production company, SoMad Pictures, whose credits include “Mad About Money”, a syndicated TV series, and the feature film “No Saints for Sinners.” In addition, he produced content including “Origins” for The Science Channel, “LA Street Kings” and “The Heavy Show” under other production banners.
In 2004 he met Michael Cioni when he was a story producer/post production supervisor on the documentary reality series “The Team” for the Nickelodeon Network. Later, they worked together at a post facility until they co-founded Light Iron in 2009. “I am very happy and excited to be re-joining the team at Light Iron. It’s rare that you get to start something, spend some time away, and then return; I’m grateful for the opportunity. What Michael and the team have done over the past two years is incredible, and I look forward to continuing that progress.”
Geffre’s post production credits include “S.Darko”, “I’m No Dummy”, “The Deported”, “Street Kings: Motor City”, “I’m Not Like That No More” and Warner Bros.’ “The Story of DC Comics”. Currently he is working on “Timescapes,” a digital time-lapse film, and a video series for photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin.

“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.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. 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
