McMahan, who spent the past three years at Modern VideoFilm,
is part of a plan to establish Roundabout as a world-class center for studio
and independent theatrical feature finishing. “We’re creating something
special,” McMahan said. “While other facilities are cutting back, we’re moving
forward. With the advent of HDR and other high resolution workflows, a new
world is unfolding and it’s creating new ways to look at things. We are working
at the forefront of those new formats.”

film offers a stunning visual feast that begins with the creation of the
universe and explores an array of natural phenomena on earth and in space.
