THE APEX TIMES
Untold Studios names Adrianna Cohen president of film and episodic VFX, expanding global leadership
The VFX production company behind “The Boys” said it has hired Adrianna Cohen to oversee its film and episodic VFX operations worldwide, with responsibilities spanning strategy, production, and growth across offices in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, London, and Mumbai.
Untold Studios, a visual effects company associated with the Amazon Prime Video series “The Boys,” announced on Aug. 3 that it has hired Adrianna Cohen as president of film and episodic. In the new role, Cohen is set to lead the company’s film and episodic VFX business globally, with oversight of strategy, operations, and creative production, according to Deadline.
The announcement describes Cohen’s remit as spanning both day-to-day execution and longer-term expansion, including a focus on growth across Untold’s international network. Untold said Cohen will oversee work across multiple locations, listing Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, London, and Mumbai as part of the network she will lead.
Deadline’s report frames the appointment as an effort to centralize leadership for film and episodic VFX. The company said Cohen will have responsibility for coordinating creative production and operational planning across those markets, an approach typically aimed at maintaining consistent delivery standards for large-scale visual effects work.
The hiring also places Cohen in a top executive position over a key studio function that is often closely tied to production schedules, staffing, and vendor coordination. Because film and episodic projects can involve intensive compositing, simulation, and visual finishing timelines, the company’s operational leadership choices can affect project throughput and internal processes, even when the public-facing credit is held by producers and networks.
Untold’s announcement did not provide, in the text available for this report, details on Cohen’s prior employers or specific project credits. It also did not state whether the appointment includes additional organizational restructuring beyond the film and episodic leadership remit described by Deadline.
Deadline said the hiring is an international executive appointment with an explicit global scope, and noted Cohen’s leadership responsibilities across Untold’s offices. The company’s stated timeline for the role was not detailed beyond the Aug. 3 announcement.
Untold’s next steps, as reflected in the company’s stated plan, will be carried out through its film and episodic VFX operations across the listed cities. The impact for staff and collaborators will depend on how Untold aligns creative workflows and management across the network, particularly as film and episodic projects move through development and production cycles.
Why It Matters
- The appointment concentrates executive authority for a major VFX category that typically requires tight scheduling, staffing, and production coordination across multiple time zones.
- Untold’s stated global leadership scope suggests an emphasis on standardizing creative and operational processes across its international offices.
- For crews and partners in film and episodic production, the hire may shape how projects are staffed and managed as work scales across regions.
- The company’s stated goal of driving growth across its network indicates a potential increase in its international delivery capacity, though the announcement did not quantify staffing or project volume.
- Because the hire is framed around film and episodic VFX, it may affect how Untold prioritizes pipeline planning for scripted series and feature films under its client roster.
