Monumental FX Establishes US Presence Through Strategic Partnership with Modern Post

Sep. 21, 2026

Monumental FX, the Paris-based visual effects and 3D animation studio known for ambitious, director-driven work, today announced its formal entry into the US market through a strategic, non-exclusive partnership with creative post-production studio Modern Post. Longtime collaborators, the two companies are formalizing a relationship that gives Monumental a US home base while Modern Post provides on-the-ground workflow, project management, and finishing support for Monumental’s American clients and agencies.

The partnership is the natural progression of a creative relationship that is already well underway. Modern Post and Monumental have collaborated on a range of projects - including Madonna’s “Confessions II” Tribeca Film Festival short, for which Monumental delivered VFX and finishing - with additional work continuing to come through the production companies and agencies the two studios share. Rather than announcing something that hasn’t happened yet, the partnership formalizes a way of working the two teams have already proven in practice.

The relationship pairs Modern Post’s US-based workflow, project management, and finishing capabilities with Monumental’s reputation for ambitious, director-driven VFX and 3D animation. It is expressly non-exclusive: Monumental continues to operate independently and take on work directly, while Modern Post serves as its US point of contact and workflow partner — and, for projects that call for a heavier visual lift, gains a not-so-secret weapon of its own.

On Monumental’s side, the partnership is led by Co-Founder Germain Robin, VFX Creative Director Mathieu Jussreandot, and Head of Post-Production Zoé Deurloo-Maka, who oversees the VFX team in Paris and serves as a US-facing point of contact. For Modern Post, Managing Partner and Executive Producer Charlyn Derrick oversees the partnership, supported by a dedicated US team providing client, production and workflow support for Monumental's American clients and agencies.

Monumental’s move into the US follows a steady rise in its US-facing work. Recent American credits include VFX for Nike, Apple, Epic Games’ Fortnite Festival and Madonna. That pull from US directors and agencies, reaching a Paris studio directly, is a large part of why establishing an American home base made sense now.

Charlyn Derrick, Managing Partner and Executive Producer at Modern Post said:

“There’s a lot of creative crossover between our two companies, and this partnership feels like a natural extension of the work we’ve already been doing together. We’re incredibly proud of the finishing work we do at Modern Post, and when a project calls for a bigger visual lift, Monumental has been a natural partner for us. Bringing our teams closer together gives Monumental a real home base in the US, while also expanding what we’re able to offer our clients. We’re really excited about what we can build together.”

 

Germain Robin, Co-Founder of Monumental FX said:

“Our goal is to let our American collaborators — whether filmmakers, brands, or agencies — work with us as easily as they would with a local partner. Being of service to directors has always been in Monumental’s DNA. When we decided to put down roots in the US, we didn’t want to do it with just anyone — we chose Modern Post because we’ve already worked together and we know how good they are. That balance of process and creativity is exactly what we’ve built Monumental around, and it’s what we recognized in them. We’re grateful to be welcomed so warmly, and we’re looking forward to showing up in person for the US clients we care about.”
