Factory VFX, a California-based visual effects firm that has done work for movies such as 2012, has opened up an office in New Orleans. While the company is bringing in five to six employees from its Santa Rosa, Calif., headquarters to initially staff the office, they hope to hire up to 50 people over the next few years. Michael Hecht, president and CEO of GNO Inc., says Factory VFX will help New Orleans become a film industry hub. “It’s not enough to have production companies just film here and outsource their post-production work to other places,” he says.
