Live action production company Framestore Pictures has tapped Amy Jones as its East Coast head of sales. In 2014, Framestore Pictures was born from the vision of newly hired EPs Jennifer Siegel and John Duffin, who spearhead the global company’s operations out of Framestore’s New York and Los Angeles offices. The addition of Jones comes at a time of rapid growth for the company’s talent pool and roster of directors; her hire follows the recent addition of Midwest sales representative Sean Sullivan. Jones has over 15 years of experience representing commercial production and editorial companies in the U.S. on both coasts. She started her career as a sales rep at Crossroads Films in New York, where she originally worked with Siegel.
