FilmLight expands US operations

FilmLight Ltd has announced that its Los Angeles office has expanded its operations and incorporated as FilmLight Digital Film Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of FilmLight Ltd to be the North American headquarters for the company.
The expansion will ensure that the company can continue to provide its trademark high level of pre- and post-sales support to FilmLight’s customers, and to drive continued adoption of FilmLight’s products in North America. The company operates under the guidance of newly-named President, Craig Risebury.
FilmLight has also expanded the US team to provide enhanced services to its customers, and to ensure the specific requirements of the North American market are understood and implemented in its products.
A member of FilmLight’s original team, President Craig Risebury was responsible for successfully opening the North American market for Northlight, Truelight, and Baselight. He was instrumental in growing the operation through Northlight sales to customers including ILM, FotoKem, Modern VideoFilm, Pacific Title, and Rhythm & Hues.
Prior to FilmLight, Mr Risebury held similar roles at ITK, as head of US Operations/Engineering, and Cintel, where he was responsible for introducing telecine products to the Los Angeles market and driving the product’s initial adoption in the US.
Risebury said: “A key to FilmLight’s success has been the close ties we maintain with our customers. We place high priority on getting users’ input into the products, and with this new team on board and dedicated to North American customers, we can keep our development and support at the highest levels during our rapid expansion.”
