The Business
'Life after Pi' A year after the visual effects house Rhythm & Hues filed for bankruptcy and won an Oscar for Life of Pi, two filmmakers have made a documentary that tracks what happened. Life after Pi was made by Christina Lee Storm and Scott Lebrecht who both once worked for that VFX house (Lebrecht is still there). They tell The Business producer Darby Maloney what they've learned about the issues affecting California's VFX community and how they fear the loss of jobs for this sector is a harbinger of things to come for the rest of the industry.
