Research has tracked the movies released theatrically in the U.S. to determine where they were filmed, why they filmed in the locations they did and how much was spent to produce them. We do this to help businesspeople and policymakers, particularly those with investments in California, better understand the state’s place in the competitive business environment that is feature film production. For reasons described later in this report’s methodology section, FilmL.A. adopted a different film project sampling method for 2016.

Multichannel News – 1 June Edition RISING SUN PICTURES Adelaide, South Australia—Rising Sun Pictures Education has earned a stellar reputation among aspiring visual effects artists both because it offers a unique opportunity to train in a working studio environment, and for the success its graduates enjoy in launching their careers. Many young artists who have completed its rigorous Graduate Certificate programs, operated in partnership with the University of South Australia (UniSA), have been hired by RSP itself, where they’ve had a chance to work on Ford v Ferrari, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Captain Marvel and other hit films. Others have found employment at studios elsewhere in Australia and internationally. RSP provides its students with the visual effects training they need to get a foot in the door and prepares them to thrive in their first VFX role. Having honed their skills in a professional environment, under the tutelage of highly-experienced, working professionals, most find the transition to real-world employment seamless. Similarly, having benefitted from the school’s diverse career guidance resources, graduates understand what’s expected of them as working professionals, how to develop industry contacts and how to market themselves to prospective employers. “Teaching practical, professional skills is central to our program,” says the studio’s Manager of Education and Training Anna Hodge. “We provide crucial building blocks to long-term success and career advancement. We are thrilled when our graduates land their first jobs in industry, but our interest doesn’t end there. We want them to continue to succeed, move up the ranks and achieve their career goals.” Abby Nath and Rebecca Wells are prime RSP success stories.

Rising Sun Pictures' Female Artists Making Strides in an Industry Once
Shoot Publicity Wire 10/3/2020 Rising Sun Pictures’ Female Artists Making Strides In An Industry Once Dominated By Men Adelaide, South Australia --(SPW)-- Historically, the visual effects (VFX) industry has had a male-dominated workforce. Gender disparity runs across the board, but is especially evident in artist and supervisory roles, where women occupy a small fraction of positions, and have for decades. But, at long last, that is slowly changing. Even as female-led blockbusters like Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman and Rogue One: A Star Wars Movie have taken the box office by storm, women have begun to turn up with greater frequency on VFX studio credits. Rising Sun Pictures (RSP) has been especially successful in this regard. As a company with women in several prominent Executive roles, the Adelaide studio has been making a concerted effort to encourage more females to pursue a career in VFX, at all levels, with an ultimate goal of achieving gender parity. Similarly, its highly-regarded Education department has been collaborating with its program- partner the University of South Australia (UniSA) and other local schools to recruit talented young women who want to study VFX. One such success story is Adelaide local Rebecca Wells. An aspiring artist, Wells was motivated to study VFX because of her love of films. In a couple of her classes at UniSA, she was one of few women, “I wish there had been more women in the class, but it didn’t discourage me”, she says. Completing the Graduate Certificate program in 2017, Wells has gone on to work at several Australian studios including Luma Pictures, KOJO and Resin.
