HOLLYWOOD --(SPW)--
Chicago-headquartered Periscope Post and Audio has appointed Rich Ellis as Executive Sales Manager at its recently-opened facility in Hollywood. A highly-regarded industry veteran with more than two decades of experience, Ellis will drive sales for the all-new, 22,000 square foot facility, which offers sound and picture post-production services including dailies, editorial, color grading, sound editing and mixing.
Periscope Post & Audio co-owner Michael Nehs says that Ellis is the ideal person to introduce Periscope to West Coast studios, broadcasters, streaming companies and other film and television producers. “Rich is a phenomenal professional, well connected and committed to providing his clients with excellent service,” Nehs notes. “He was our first choice to lead our sales effort in Hollywood.”
Ellis most recently served as Senior Vice President at Larson Studios, where he directed sales and managed relationships with studios and other clients. He has also held senior sales positions with Technicolor/Complete Post, The Post Group and Video Transitions. He began his career with Consolidated Film Industries (CFI).

We won’t settle for anything less than excellence.”
Periscope is in the final stages of completing the build-out of its Hollywood facility and will begin full operations this month. “We are all very enthusiastic about establishing a facility with staying power,” says Ellis. “We intend to be Hollywood’s next A-team.”
