Expands Television Post Production and Visual Effects Presence
Encore, a Deluxe® Entertainment Services Group company, announced today its expansion into New York, a move that builds on its long established West Coast network of post production facilities for television, including Encore in Hollywood and sister facility Level 3 in Burbank, California.
Encore‘s New York location is based out of Deluxe‘s state-of-the art facility and offers the same high-caliber, cutting-edge television post and visual effects (VFX) work that Encore in Hollywood is synonymous with. Deluxe New York’s existing TV offering has rolled-up under the Encore name to better unify the television offering.
"Having a location in New York and working as a unified group is especially exciting for all of us at Encore," says Bill Romeo, Senior Vice President of Television for Deluxe. “The New York facility has a talented team in place and collectively we provide the most robust post production and visual effects offering for television in the industry."
Encore in Hollywood boasts a top-level VFX division whose credits include such major shows as Fox’s House and ABC’s Castle. Encore‘s New York-based visual effects group makes use of a highly skilled pool of local artists and cutting-edge technology to provide the same high caliber visual effects work in New York.
Romeo concludes, "With television production in New York growing at a compelling rate, the timing is perfect for our move here. New York TV productions now have easy access to Encore-quality services with the ability to make use of local tax incentives."
Current Encore, New York credits include HBO’s Treme, and CBS’s Blue Bloods and upcoming NYC 22.

“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
