FotoKem, a leader in digital and film post production, announced today that industry veteran Dana Ross has joined the facility as Senior Vice President of Client Relations. With more than 40 years of experience, Ross will collaborate with FotoKem’s sales and marketing teams to continue to expand its growing creative connections.

Ross brings a breadth of experience to this new engagement that encompasses motion picture workflow, production, camera and lens expertise, and decades of relationships with filmmakers. He began his career at CFI Motion Picture Laboratory, first as a projectionist and later as a color timer. After 23 years at CFI, he transitioned to Technicolor, serving as SVP of Feature Film Relations. In 2014, Ross joined the ARRI Rental team as a global marketing executive and embarked in the development and launch of the Alexa 65 camera system, which has become a leading tool for filmmakers and used on Academy Award®-winning films.

Ross, an associate member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC), also has a passion for still photography. In particular, he fosters a love for working in the 11x14 plate camera format. This passion, combined with many years working closely with directors of photography, has seen him take studio portraits of numerous cinematographers.

Ross says, “FotoKem is renowned for its service, expertise, and numerous credits on highly respected projects. I am excited to join the team to help further inform the broader creative community of the company’s accomplishments and capabilities.”

FotoKem Chief Strategy Officer Mike Brodersen adds, “Ross has been supporting filmmakers on projects of every size for many years in the industry. We’re thrilled to have him on board to communicate our offerings to a broader scope of filmmakers.”
