Brown, a 30-year veteran, is known for introducing new technologies to the post community such as D-Vision, one of the first nonlinear editing systems.
Several independent film projects were finished under Brown’s stewardship at West Post Digital, including Forks Over Knives, We Are Wisconsin and Spirit of the Marathon, as well as many TV series, including South Park, Extreme Makeover: The Home Edition and The Hills. At West Post, Brown started “Partners in Post,” a program which allied the facility and filmmaker’s needs in a mutually advantageous way, including an equity component that solved budget limitations.
Cinema Libre Studio recently took over the THX offices in Burbank and Brown will oversee its expanded facility. Senior editor Tom VonDoom and assistant editor Carlos Velasco, have handled creative editorial and technical deliveries for films such as the Sundance Audience Award-winning Fuel, Oliver Stone‘s South of the Border and Rachid Bourchareb‘s London River.
“I’m excited to be working with the dynamic group at Cinema Libre Studio and looking forward to bringing my experience in post to their successful film distribution business,” said Brown. “It’s a unique opportunity to serve a client’s needs from post to final exhibition of their film.”
