22Dogs VFX, the visual effects studio known for its work on Apple TV’s The Morning Show and Netflix’s heist thriller Here Comes the Flood, has launched a new location in Toronto to serve as its North American headquarters.
The international studio, which is based in Milan and has credits for projects like Netflix’s Outer Banks, Lionsgate’s Day Drinker, and Prime Video’s The Greatest, also operates an office in Los Angeles. This new facility at Pinewood Toronto Studios marks the third production site for 22Dogs VFX, following their locations in Milan and Tenerife.
Joining other global studios in Toronto, 22Dogs VFX will contribute to visual effects projects for major studios and streaming services seeking digital tax incentives, currency advantages, and lower labor costs available in Ontario. The day-to-day operations at Pinewood Toronto Studios will be managed by Samara Melanson, the head of studio. She’ll collaborate closely with Andrea Marotti, partner and executive producer at 22Dogs based in Los Angeles.
“Since founding 22Dogs, our vision has always been to build a studio where creativity, innovation, and collaboration come together to support filmmakers at the highest level. Toronto is a natural next step in our global journey, and we’re excited to welcome new artists, partners, and clients as we continue to grow our international footprint,” Carlo Tosi, founder of 22Dogs VFX, said in a statement.
The Los Angeles office will keep working closely with major studios and streaming services as well as international producers who often bring film and television projects to Canada for both production and post-production. Pinewood Toronto Studios already acts as a Canadian hub for Netflix and Amazon MGM Studios.
“Toronto attracts leading creative companies from around the world, and we’re pleased to see 22Dogs VFX establish its Canadian home at Pinewood Toronto Studios. Their investment reflects the reputation of Ontario’s screen industry and further enhances the collaborative ecosystem our studios are known for,” Sarah Farrell, general manager of Pinewood Toronto Studios said in her own statement.
