JFX Bolsters Creative Ranks With Senior VFX Appointments

Boutique visual effects house JFX has announced a significant expansion of its creative leadership team with the recruitment of Ingo Putze as VFX Supervisor and Jenn Epstein as Associate VFX Supervisor. The appointments follow a standout inaugural year for the studio, which launched in April 2025 within the Troubadour Ecosystem. Both Putze and Epstein bring extensive high-end film and episodic experience to the studio, having previously collaborated with the JFX team on projects such as the Kate Winslet-directed Netflix feature, Goodbye June.

Putze joins JFX as VFX Supervisor, having previously collaborated with the team on projects including Goodbye June, the recent directorial debut of Kate Winslet. He brings a global perspective and decades of experience leading award-winning creative work, with credits including The Woman King, Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Lee. Known for his concept driven approach and ability to translate complex ideas into compelling creative vision, Putze has built a reputation for pushing boundaries while delivering meaningful results for clients.

Epstein joins as Associate VFX Supervisor, bringing extensive expertise following a varied career at established VFX houses ILM, MPC and DNEG, where she held senior compositing and 2D supervisor roles. Her recent credits include The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Black Mirror and The Last Frontier.

Together, Putze and Epstein will partner closely with JFX leadership and creative teams to drive innovation, elevate creative output, and support the company's expanding client portfolio.

The appointments underscore JFX's ongoing investment in top-tier talent following a successful first year since its launch in April 2025. Housed within the Troubadour Ecosystem alongside Troubadour Studios, JFX has worked on Netflix's Goodbye June and currently has a roster of high-end television and independent film projects in production, due for release throughout 2026.

Phil Greenlow, JFX Managing Director, commented on the appointments: "Ingo and Jenn are exceptional creative leaders whose experience and creative excellence align perfectly with JFX's ethos and plans for the future. Their combined strengths will help us continue to deliver bold, original work while scaling our creative capabilities."

Greenlow added: "Having both previously collaborated with JFX and Jellyfish Pictures, Jenn and Ingo have a great rapport with the team and I am proud that they are joining the team on a long-term basis, further elevating our offering."

Putze said: "I have worked with the team at JFX across a few projects now. Their approach to the industry and care for clients and crew make them an incredible company to work for. I am very happy to be continuing our relationship and delivering more great VFX for our clients."

Technologically, they are spearheading the studio of tomorrow, and through their values and creative standards, they are showcasing how we should be operating in 2026.
