Formosa Group executive vp Matt Dubin is “taking over operational responsibilities and reporting structure” previously held by founder and CEO Bob Rosenthal, who caught many by surprise when he resigned on March 31, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Dubin is a familiar face at the leading audio postproduction company, where he has worked since it was founded in 2013.
The company was contacted but declined to comment.
Bill Romeo, CEO of parent company Streamland Media, announced the news to staff on Monday, THR learned. “I am confident that Formosa Group will benefit from the dedication and leadership that Matt has demonstrated since the inception of the company and that Formosa Group will continue to thrive in his capable hands,” he wrote in a memo.
Also on Monday, Romeo announced that Tim Nett, one of the original partners and founders of Formosa Group and sister companies Picture Shop and Picture Head, has been named Streamland’s COO.

Streamland Media — the postproduction giant that bought Technicolor Post and Sim Post in 2021 — is continuing its growth with the acquisition of U.S. and Canada-based visual effects business Ingenuity Studios. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Ingenuity Studios is headquartered in Los Angeles and also maintains offices in New York, Vancouver and Atlanta, growing Streamland’s footprint in those cities. Streamland’s global portfolio includes Ghost VFX, Picture Shop post business; Formosa Group sound company, and marketing division Picture Head.
Ingenuity Studios provides VFX for feature films, episodic series, music videos and advertising. It has contributed to productions including Many Saints of Newark, Hacks, The Walking Dead and Paper Girls.
Trive Capital and Five Crowns Capital backed the deal. In 2021, the two firms also backed Streamland’s purchase of Technicolor Post for 36.5 million, as well as Sim Post for an undisclosed sum.

Streamland Media, formerly Picture Head Holdings, has announced plans to acquire Technicolor’s post-production business.
Trive Capital and Five Crowns Capital are supporting the deal, which is valued at $36.5 million and expected to close in the first half of this year.
Streamland already owns a range of post-production outfits, including Picture Shop, Formosa Group, Ghost VFX, Picture Head, The Farm Group and Finalé Post.
Technicolor describes the transaction as fitting with the ongoing transformation of the company under new CEO Richard Moat. His goal is to focus more on the visual effects and animation work that precede the final services of color and sound.
Creative studios remaining under the Technicolor tent include Mpc Film, Mr. X and Mikros. In recent years, Mpc Film earned Oscar nominations for its work on The Lion King, The Jungle Book and 1917, winning for the last two of those.
