Deluxe Creative Services has added Jaclyn Paris as executive producer for its growing Atlanta facility. In this role, she serves as the executive producer for Beast Atlanta, as well as oversees production for co-located sister facilities Method Studios and Company 3. Paris joins Deluxe from Cosmo Street Editorial, where she was head of production; she previously held various senior production roles at Lost Planet, Rabbit Content, Ravenswork Audio, and feature documentary outfit Isotope Films.
“As a producer, it’s a dream to work in this environment where we can offer our clients both the intimacy of a boutique shop, and the first class resources of a global company,” said Paris. “Our Atlanta tri-branded studio’s unique strength is in its interdisciplinary approach. Collectively, we’re able to execute better work on a larger scope, which ultimately strengthens the local production community.”
Billy Gabor, managing director in Atlanta, said of Paris, “She’s well-versed on all aspects of postproduction and can guide a project through every step of the process; she’ll be key in helping us further integrate our service offerings for an even more seamless client experience.”
Deluxe Atlanta provides clients with services ranging from dailies and editorial to color grading and VFX, including on-set supervision. The 35-person and growing outpost handles the bulk of projects in-house, working closely with the thriving advertising and film industries; it can also scale up and collaborate with Deluxe talent at other locations to suit project needs. Recent credits include commercials for AT&T, Toyota and Holiday Inn, the BET TV series Being Mary Jane, and feature films Selma and Goosebumps.
