Light Iron, a postproduction house known for its work in content originated on file-based motion cameras, has hired executive producer Jean Lane for a newly created role to lead its growing New York facility. Lane’s move from Goldcrest Post comes as Light Iron expands its SoHo operations.
CEO Michael Cioni said that Lane’s experience was the right fit for the growing company. “I directly oversaw our Manhattan launch a year ago, but then looked for a New Yorker to take over the reins as we moved into year two. Jean brings strong managerial, technical, and client relations experience to the team.”
Lane has led teams at Goldcrest Post and Lost Planet Editorial, overseeing postproduction services for documentaries and commercials. Her long career also includes creative editorial, production management, and casting.
Doubling square footage at the 580 Broadway location, Light Iron has also undergone an expansion which creates additional edit suites for the company to package with its on-set dailies services and Digital Intermediate services. “We’ve customized these boutique suites to the New York film community’s tastes,” said Lane.
Attesting to that was Sabine Hoffman, A.C.E., editor of The Last Five Years, who related, “Light Iron NY provides an amazing editorial workspace, with support at every step from dailies to finishing. The expert staff had answers for all our challenges, providing simulations of what might be possible in DI and making nearly impossible requests happen immediately. The direct-from-Avid screenings of each cut were fantastic.”
