Proud recipient of the Best International Talent Attraction and Retention Strategy at this year's Montreal International Awards 🏆 . Of the win, Managing Director Chloë Grysole says "Bringing together so many people to create Oscar-winning work is no mean feat, and it's a testament to our city, our managers and the support we give artists and their families that, once they settle here, they usually choose to stay." "It's really gratifying to be part of an influential VFX community in my hometown." ⭐ . C'est avec grand plaisir que nous avons reçus le prix pour la "Meilleure stratégie d'attraction et de rétention" aux Prix Montréal International 🏆 . "Rassembler un aussi grand nombre d'artistes pour créer des films reconnus aux Oscars n'est pas une mince affaire et c'est un témoignage de notre ville, de nos employés et du soutien que nous apportons aux artistes et à leurs familles qui, une fois installés, décide d'y rester." "C'est fantastique de faire partie d'une communauté VFX de renomée à Montréal" ⭐ . #VFXMontreal @chambredecommercedemontreal @investissementquebec @bctq_qftc #VFXbyFramestore
