CSS STUDIOS FORMS FROM ASCENT ASSETS
All of the facilities will continue to carry on with their individual brand identities. The new company is being headed by Robert C. Rosenthal, who formerly served as chief operating officer of AMG's audio division.
CSS Studios will continue to offer a full range of creative post production sound and music services to major motion picture studios, independent producers, broadcast networks, cable channels, advertising agencies and interactive producers, notes Rosenthal. Operations will continue to be maintained in Los Angeles and New York.
"We look forward to our new alliance with Discovery Communications and being in a situation where we can focus all our efforts on raising the bar for post production sound," says Rosenthal. "Creatively, we are at the top of our game, with an unprecedented group of creative talent and support teams. I think the timing is perfect for us to return to being a smaller and more focused group."
Collectively, the studios have garnered more than 50 Academy Award nominations and won 26 Academy Awards.
