We hereby petition the Federal Government to bailout Rhythm and Hues Studios in the manner of the 2008 Corporate Bailouts.
Long one of the biggest and most important of the industry's visual effects companies and the creator of the digital animals and environments for "Life of Pi," Rhythm and Hues is in the surreal position of being nominated twice for the 2013 Academy Award for Visual Effects, while simultaneously attempting to avert bankruptcy and outright closure.
The climate for creative professionals has never been as comfortable as it has for corporate executives in this country, yet I come to you for equal representation for a company who's only benefit to the public good has been to bring smiles of delight and joy to children and adults around the world for over 25 years.
