Stockholm’s Chimney now has offices in New York, the latest part of an expansion that sees the global production and post corporation operating in 14 locations worldwide, including a Santa Monica office that enjoyed its grand opening early last year.
The 6,000-square-foot facility on West 27th Street in Manhattan will offer clients multiple Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve and Autodesk Flame suites alongside cutting rooms, a DI theater and — through a joint venture with neighbor Gigantic Studios, two blocks uptown — a Dolby Atmos mix stage.
