PHILADELPHIA — Alkemy X (www.alkemy-x.com) has formally launched an independent film services division. The move comes after a series of contributions to award-winning films such as The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and
The Whale.
The studio has also tapped Andrew Greenblatt for a strategic collaboration in leading the new division. Greenblatt will leverage his extensive network and experience in the independent film sector, while continuing in his position as the chief executive officer and executive director of the Philadelphia Film Society. The nonprofit organization is responsible for annually producing the Philadelphia Film Festival, as well as the management of the Philadelphia Film Center, PFS East and PFS Bourse movie theaters.
Greenblatt brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the independent film landscape, cultivated through years of collaboration with filmmakers and participation in film festivals across the world. His enthusiasm for the work and connections pair seamlessly with Alkemy X's mission to provide top-notch post and visual effects services to independent filmmakers.
“To say that this a home run would be an understatement,” expressed Justin Wineburgh, Alkemy X president and CEO. “Andy is one of the most competent, hard-working, diligent individuals I have ever known. Most remarkably, he is always firmly on the pulse of the independent film world, and the specific needs of these incredible filmmakers. While Alkemy X has always led this industry, to now look to take our success to even greater heights with one of my closest friends is something special - I am beyond excited for our future together.”
“I’m thrilled to partner with Justin and the exceptional team at Alkemy X to launch and help build this new independent film services division,” adds Greenblatt. “Having worked with Alkemy X for post production on several films I’ve produced, I know first-hand the quality of their work as well as how easy and helpful the Alkemy X team is to work with. I’m excited to have the opportunity to introduce and share their talent and expertise with fellow independent filmmakers.”
