The letter states that MPC’s Vancouver studio will “cease operations effective immediately and refocus its geographical presence to other locations.”

“This decision has not been taken lightly,” states the letter, noting that “more attractive opportunities in other locations have created a challenging environment” for the company to sustain its Vancouver office.

MPC is owned by French multinational corporation Technicolor, which provides various services in the media and entertainment industries.

Technicolor operates several other VFX brands including The Mill, Mr.X, and Mikros.

The letter also states that MPC and the other Technicolor brands will continue to expand in other cities including Montreal, Paris, Adelaide, LA, and Toronto.

Netflix is poised to become the world’s most prolific producer of visual effects and original animated content. To meet that demand, we need to attract the world’s best artistic talent. Artists like to work at places where they can create groundbreaking entertainment instead of worrying about getting access to the software or source files they need. To meet this need, the Studio Infrastructure team has created Netflix Workstations.

Netflix Workstations are remote workstations that allow content creators to get to work wherever they are.
