  • "FILMFX is the best special effects company I have had the pleasure to collaborate with over my 30 years of Directing / Producing Film and Television. No matter the production challenge FILMFX always delivers with impressive and spectacular results. In every aspect of their workflow safety is FILMFX's number one consideration - nothing is more important to them - period. With generations of experience the creative driving force of the company and world class technicians I have nothing but the greatest respect and confidence in this team ability to deliver the “Wow!”.
