Telecorps Holdings, Inc., parent company of PostWorks NY, today announces that it has signed a binding agreement to partner with Technicolor to jointly provide editorial, color grading and other post production services in New York. The company’s PostWorks facility and Technicolor’s Technicolor East Coast facility, both located in Soho, will operate as a single unit under the name Technicolor/PostWorks.
The companies’ aim is to take advantage of their complementary talent, resources and experience in order to deliver the highest quality post-production experience in the New York market. The two companies formed a similar partnership last year to provide film laboratory services through the jointly operated New York Film Lab.
“We have worked towards creating this kind of synergy for a long time,” said David Rosen, Chairman of Telecorps. “Customers are searching for the highest quality solutions with the fewest points of contact. They want a provider who can facilitate all aspects of the acquisition, editing and finishing of content. This partnership provides that answer.”
Technicolor/PostWorks combines Technicolor’s strong global brand with PostWorks‘ boutique appeal. PostWorks is one of the entertainment industry’s most comprehensive post-production companies, offering film processing, digital dailies, non-linear editing systems, file-based workflow and finishing, and digital intermediate services. It also features full service sound facilities.
Key executives from Technicolor and PostWorks will manage the integration and ongoing operation of the two facilities to ensure continued delivery consistent with Technicolor and PostWorks standards.
Telecorps Holdings Inc. also owns Hula Post, Orbit Digital, Wexler Video and Coffey Sound, whose operations are unaffected by its partnership with Technicolor. In a separate transaction, Technicolor has entered into a binding agreement to acquire the assets of LaserPacific, a Los Angeles post house and a sister company to Telecorps. The transactions are expected to close at the end of August, 2011.

“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
