The Opportunity
Netflix recently opened two LA-based buildings to house its animation film and series studios. Both buildings offer a mix of immersive, collaborative, technically accurate, and creatively engaging review spaces. We are building a screening operations team to facilitate those spaces for a wide variety of corporate and production use cases.
