Leading post-production company Goldcrest Post has added three new senior members to its growing picture finishing team. The new hires are senior colorists Andrew Geary and Anthony Raffaele and senior Vice President J. Eric Camp.
Geary comes to Goldcrest from Company 3, where he worked in post on series such as HBO’s “The Righteous Gemstones” and “The Staircase,” Netflix’s “Tires” and Amazon Prime’s “Harlem.” He also worked on the films “Relay” and “Imaginary.” At Goldcrest, he will serve as senior colorist as well as creative director.
Raffaele’s resume includes post-production roles at Harbor and Deluxe and work on titles such as Apple TV+’s “See,” Hulu’s “Life and Beth” and HBO Max’s “Warrior.”
Finally, Camp joins Goldcrest from his previous role as vice president at rival post-production company Light Iron. Before entering the business side of post-production, he worked on-set as a DIT. As senior VP at Goldcrest, he will oversee picture operations, business development and client solutions.
Goldcrest managing director Domenic Rom comments that the new hires mark “a defining moment for Goldcrest,” adding that “Drew, Anthony and Eric share a commitment to high-end work and deep relationships across the industry. Their addition takes our picture finishing capabilities to the next level.”
