Light Iron has experienced significant growth since being acquired by Panavision, says Peter Cioni, the company's CFO. To continue on this trajectory, we're bringing in a leader to assist us with navigating the complexities that commonly impact larger businesses. Josh's experience is unmatched: he has strong operational and managerial skills, as well as deep client relationships, which will enable Light Iron to continue to grow and be a leader in the industry.

Haynie joins Light Iron after 13 years at EFILM, where, as Managing Director, he maintained direct responsibility for all aspects of the company's operations including EC3 (on-location services), facility dailies, trailers, digital intermediate, home video, and restoration. Haynie managed a team of 100+ employees, and more than 650 digital intermediates were completed under his watch.

Haynie is an Associate Member of the ASC, and is also actively involved in the HPA, SMPTE, and VES.

I look forward to working with the entire team to further elevate a level of service that is unprecedented in our industry.
