UK boutique VFX studio names Putze VFX Supervisor and Epstein Associate VFX Supervisor as it continues to expands following its 2025 launch.
JFX has just appointed Ingo Putze as VFX Supervisor and Jenn Epstein as Associate VFX Supervisor, expanding its senior creative leadership team as the studio continues to build its operations following its April 2025 launch.
Putze joins the UK boutique visual effects studio after previously collaborating with the team on projects including Goodbye June, the recent directorial debut of Kate Winslet. His credits include The Woman King, Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Lee.
Epstein joins the studio following roles at ILM, MPC and DNEG, where she held senior compositing and 2D supervisor positions. Her recent credits include The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Blash and The Last Frontier.
Together, the two will partner closely with JFX leadership and creative teams to drive innovation, elevate creative output, and support the company’s expanding client portfolio.
Housed within the Troubadour ecosystem alongside Troubadour Studios, the company has worked on Netflix’s Goodbye June and has multiple television and independent film projects in production slated for release throughout 2026.
Phil Greenlow, JFX Managing Director, commented on the appointments, “Ingo and Jenn are exceptional creative leaders whose experience and creative excellence align perfectly with JFX’s ethos and plans for the future. Their combined strengths will help us continue to deliver bold, original work while scaling our creative capabilities.”
Greenlow added, “Having both previously collaborated with JFX and Jellyfish Pictures, Jenn and Ingo have a great rapport with the team and I am proud that they are joining the team on a long-term basis, further elevating our offering.”
Putze said, “I have worked with the team at JFX across a few projects now. Their approach to the industry and care for clients and crew make them an incredible company to work for. I am very happy to be continuing our relationship and delivering more great VFX for our clients.”
“JFX embodies the future of VFX,” Epstein added. “Technologically, they are spearheading the studio of tomorrow, and through their values and creative standards, they are showcasing how we should be operating in 2026. I am so excited to be part of the process, leading a great team across a wide range of projects, whilst doing what I love.”
JFX works across film, television, short-form and experiential projects, combining visual effects craft with technical production capabilities and operates with a streamlined structure designed to support projects from development through delivery.
