Press Release

PostWorks, New York, the east coast's
most advanced and comprehensive post production resource,
today announced the acquisition of The Lab at Moving Images,
New York's newest motion picture processing facility. The
announcement was made by PostWorks' CEO David Rosen.
The Lab, launched in 2002, has offered development of 35 mm,
Super 35 mm, 16 mm and Super 16 mm color negative film, as
well as cross-processing and skip bleach processing services,
in support of a great many high-profile film, television and
short-form projects. The Lab has made impressive gains in
the New York market, and was recently awarded the processing
duties from HBO for the current season as well as eight
additional episodes of their award winning series, "The
Sopranos." The company has worked with virtually every major
commercial production company, including RSA USA, Hungry Man
and @radical media, and also names ABC, CBS, NBC, Paramount,
20th Century Fox and Time Warner among its regular clients.
The enterprise becomes PostWorks, The Lab, effective
immediately. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Importantly, both Domenic Rom and Chuck Roback will continue
on in their leadership roles, and The Lab's entire employee
list will also join the PostWorks family. It will continue
to operate at its present 4,000 sq. foot location at 227 E.
45th Street, and construction is underway for an additional
location that will be within walking distance from PostWorks'
6th Avenue location in SoHo.
"Over the past few years, we've built an excellent working
relationship with Domenic Rom and his team at The Lab, and we
view this investment as a win-win for everyone involved,
especially our customers," David Rosen said. "Combining our
existing capabilities with a film lab with such extraordinary
personnel and a first-class reputation means that we can
truly serve as our clients' single source for all of their
post-production needs."
Domenic Rom, a 25-year New York City post-production veteran
whose groundbreaking work with Unitel, Duart, Sekani and
Moving Images – as well as his proactive membership with the
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers – has
earned the respect of filmmakers worldwide, shared these
thoughts on the new development. "Joining the PostWorks
family gives our clients access to the services they need,
like high-end telecine, data scanning and tape to film, to
name a few," Rom said. "All of our clients will continue to
get dailies quickly and of the highest quality. The fact that
we are able to retain all our personnel and add the top
people of PostWorks is an added bonus. Combining our
operation with PostWorks creates a one-stop option never seen
before in New York."
Rob DeMartin, PostWorks' chief operating officer, stressed
that The Lab's existing customers will experience the same
service they've come to expect, courtesy of the supporting
staff they've come to know. At the same time, he also
underscored another vital benefit for all of PostWorks'
existing customers who work in the film medium. "Obviously,
these new capabilities will allow us to streamline the
coordination between processing and telecine, making it much
easier for our clients to stay on schedule." DeMartin also
indicated that PostWorks had recently expanded its telecine
capabilities, doubling its existing suites which feature HD,
SD and direct to disk film transfer via Spirit 2K, da Vinci
2K Plus and Pandora Color systems.

PostWorks, The Lab is also scheduled to go beyond processing
with the addition of advanced printing capabilities. "Today,
working with our customers who finish their projects on film,
we are often challenged by issues relating to check print
quality and turnaround times," added Joe Caterini, PostWorks'
executive vice president. "When our printing capabilities
come online at The Lab, the traditional and Digital
Intermediate finishing processes we offer will gain absolute
control over quality, on much shorter timelines."
