Framestore

For the past decade, Framestore has been using game engines and emerging realtime technologies to develop breakthrough immersive experiences. In recent years, these technologies have also begun to transform commercial, TV and film VFX production. Framestore is looking for a new business focused Executive Producer to join our award winning Immersive team in North America.
