    TORONTO --

    Rodeo FX has appointed Ryan Stasyshyn as the new head of its Toronto office and its offering of visual effects, animation and creative services. Stasyshyn has been part of the production teams for projects including WandaVision, Watchmen, John Wick: Chapter 4, The Handmaid’s Tale, 1923, and Priscilla. Throughout his career, Stasyshyn gained invaluable on-set experience serving as the head of production, head of operations, and managing director.

    “In an era where VFX companies are often bought out and focused solely on the bottom line, Rodeo FX stands apart. The company sets a high bar for talent and work, creating an environment that fosters collaboration like I’ve never seen before,” said Stasyshyn.

    “With Ryan stepping in as head, we aim to grant the Toronto studio greater autonomy, enabling it to lead its own projects while supporting our headquarters and our other studios with their global initiative,” explained Sebastien Moreau, president and founder of Rodeo FX.

    Well known in the Toronto community, Stasyshyn has worked with several of the biggest local studios including Intelligent Creature, Monsters Aliens Robots Zombie and Maverick VFX.

    The Toronto studio, which recently finished projects for Netflix, Warner Bros. and Nissan Canada, marks the fifth international location of Rodeo FX, along with Montreal, Quebec City, Los Angeles and Paris.
