R&H may remain a standalone company but unless California enacts tax incentives for vfx work it is likely to be a much smaller one. Its current El Segundo HQ will be sold and it is likely to send as much of 80% of its vfx volume overseas.
But Roman was also clear that the combination of a lag in production and large subsidies in Canada, especially Quebec, threaten the California vfx industry. “There’s a strong desire to keep the visual-effects industry alive in CA but nobody knows quite what to do about the tax subsidies in Canada.
