I'm enormously excited to have someone as experienced as Rob join our Senior Creative team, commented Andrew Bell, Managing Director, MPC LA. This industry is about trust, and I can think of very few people who have experienced more high-profile projects than Rob. His addition comes at an exciting time for the studio, as we expand and move into new digs. He mirrors our commitment to give our clients the personal touch and expertise required to deliver the very best standard of work, as we evolve from a boutique to a major studio offering.

He joins MPC as it readies for a move this summer to a state-of-the-art 25,000-square-foot new studio in Culver City.
I couldn't be happier to join MPC as Creative Director at this exciting time of expansion, Hodgson said. I feel fortunate to join a strong team and to leverage my experience in feature films and commercials as a supervisor and artist. The move to a new expanded studio is the perfect opportunity to grow the business and expand the scale, scope and quality of work that is possible. I look forward to working alongside Paul O'Shea and the experienced producing team.
