Trailer For The VFX Documentary ‘Rhythm & Hues: Life After Pi’

You may remember at last year’s Oscars that Ang Lee’s superb LIFE OF PI bagged a number of gongs, one of them for visual effects for LA based Rhythm & Hues. What you didn’t know, and the story that they didn’t tell, was the fight behind the scenes and the production house filing for bankruptcy just weeks before.

The whole story is to be told in an upcoming documentary called RHYTHM AND HUES: LIFE AFTER PI, as part of HOLLYWOOD ENDING, which features interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from that aforementioned movie, and the marches that took place on Hollywood Boulevard around the Oscars last February.

“Life After Pi” is a short documentary about Rhythm & Hues Studios, the L.A. based Visual Effects company that won an Academy Award for its groundbreaking work on “Life of Pi”– just two weeks after declaring bankruptcy. The film explores rapidly changing forces impacting the global VFX community, and the Film Industry as a whole.

This is only the first chapter of an upcoming feature-length documentary “Hollywood Ending,” that delves into the larger, complex challenges facing the US Film Industry and the many professionals working within it, whose fates and livelihood are intertwined.

A new trailer for the film has just gone online, and you can watch it using our player below.
