Sohonet becomes a contributing member of CAPA, bringing its industry data and a dedicated California post-production dataset to an industry making decisions in the dark
Sohonet, the global expert in connectivity and collaboration for the media and entertainment industry, has joined the California Post Alliance (CAPA) as a contributing member. The partnership gives California’s post-production community access to Sohonet’s industry data and insight at a moment when the sector’s future in the state is being decided.
Thousands of California post-production jobs have been lost over the past decade as work has moved to other states and countries, and those fighting to reverse that trend have been doing it largely without hard numbers. Through this partnership, Sohonet will work with CAPA’s economist to build a dedicated California post-production dataset, giving CAPA and its members a clear, credible picture of the sector’s footprint, its economics, and where the work is going.
Alongside the dataset, CAPA and its members will get ongoing access to Sohonet’s industry research, including its monthly Screen Production Insight report and California-focused analysis.
“Post-production built this industry in California, and the people doing that work deserve better than guesswork about its future. We sit on a unique view of how post work flows around the world. Putting that data in the hands of the community that needs it most is the most useful thing we can do.”
Chuck Parker, CEO of Sohonet
“We’re thrilled to partner with Sohonet in the fight to bring post-production back to California. Through monthly meetings with Sohonet’s data scientist, and CAPA’s economist, we are able to track not only where the work is currently happening but also, to gain insights into the trends. Based on this, we can measure the success of AB 2319,”
Tim Belcher, post-production veteran and Founding Member of the California Post Alliance
Founded in 2026, CAPA is a nonprofit bringing together post-production creatives and professionals across picture and sound editorial, scoring, VFX, and finishing to strengthen and sustain the industry in California.
Sohonet joins as a contributing member supporting CAPA’s research and community work, and the two organisations plan to collaborate on industry events and research over the coming year.
