Newly appointed General Manager Felix Crawshaw brings with him over 20 years of international and local film and television post-production experience. His production credits include Prometheus, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Captain America – The First Avenger, and The Finest Hours, “It’s an exciting time for Plastic Wax, so I feel privileged to be spearheading the growth of the business across our multiple platforms.”

“2019 is without a doubt a game-changer year for us,” states Sved, “Not only have our recent projects been incredibly successful, we’re also hoping to make waves at E3 with work we’re finishing right now on some massive new IPs”.

It’s already been an exciting year for the studio, with two of their gaming titles winning two Gold and one Silver at the annual PromaxGames Awards held at The Village, San Francisco on 17 April 2019. Cindy Corson-Airey, VP of Business for Plastic Wax, attended the Awards. “The quality of the work presented at the awards was exemplary, so it’s a real honour to be lined up against the calibre of other contenders such as; Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Launch Trailer, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Trailers and Far Cry 5: Story & Story Trailer”, says Corson-Airey.
