“I couldn’t be any happier to welcome Cherri to our TFS family. I have known Cherri for many years as her reputation really does precede her,” said Sheppard. “She is an equally respected and loved industry talent. Having played an integral role in such high caliber companies such as Cinelab, Company 3 and Technicolor means she will bring all those years of experience and client relationships to our TFS offering.”

Alongside my knowledge of production and post pipelines, I bring with me an understanding of the different nuances within this industry and the requirements that our clients may have, as no two productions are the same. It’s one thing to provide a service, but quite another to be able to react to our clients’ many and varied needs in real time. To understand what challenges are being faced and to always find a way to help no matter what is needed.”
