Former Leaders of The Mill Launch Arc Creative After Technicolor Shutdown

Arc Creative, a new VFX venture under Dream Machine FX, emerges as Technicolor's financial collapse forces the closure of The Mill and other studios.

Technicolor's bankruptcy has led to the closure of its U.S. operations, including renowned VFX studios The Mill, MPC, Mikros Animation, and Technicolor Games.
The Mill's former U.S. leadership has partnered with Dream Machine FX to establish Arc Creative, a new venture focused on short-form visual effects work like advertising, trailers, and game cinematics.
Arc Creative will be led by The Mill's former U.S. executive creative directors, managing directors, and key creative staff, ensuring continuity of The Mill's legacy and talent.
Dream Machine FX, a holding company for VFX brands such as Important Looking Pirates and Zero VFX, has welcomed the Arc Creative team to its portfolio.
The closure of Technicolor's studios marks the end of The Mill's 35-year history, which included award-winning work in advertising and feature film visual effects.
