As Head of Production for Co3 Features NY, Monton Will Take Company's New York Presence to New Heights
Award-winning post house Company 3® is proud to announce the promotion of its accomplished and talented DI (digital intermediate) producer, Nick Monton, to Head of Production, Features, at Company 3‘s New York facility. Monton has just relocated to Manhattan from Company 3‘s Santa Monica location, where he served as Senior DI Producer on countless studio blockbusters, independents and documentaries.
“Nick brings an enormous amount of experience, talent and technical expertise to the New York operation,” says Stuart Robinson, General Manager of the New York branches of Company 3 and its sister company, VFX house Method Studios. “This city’s production and post industries have been expanding at an incredible rate; we are seeing an explosion in the number of feature film productions shooting and posting in New York, as well as growth in the scope of some of those projects. Nick has a comprehensive understanding of the complex workflow involved in posting larger, VFX-intensive features, but also of the challenges facing independent filmmakers with far more limited resources. With Nick as Head of Production, we know that we can meet the needs of any and every client wanting to post in New York.”
“This is a wonderful opportunity,” Monton declares. “New York is fast becoming a major production hub, and I am very excited to be able to help make Company 3 a vital part of that industry.”
As DI Producer at Company 3 in Santa Monica, Monton worked with some of the film industry’s most respected filmmakers, including J.J. Abrams, Michael Mann, Ridley Scott, Gore Verbinski, Brett Ratner, and many others.

“Ǝvolution” 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 Ǝvolution, 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? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” 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), Oscar®... Read More
