ARC Creative

ARC Creative is a boutique visual-effects, CGI animation and post-production studio established in February 2025 by former executive creative leadership, senior artists and department heads from The Mill’s United States operations. Formed following the shutdown of Technicolor Group’s US studio operations, the company launched with Dream Machine FX as its parent holding group and operates as an autonomous commercial and short-form sister studio within that network.

The studio focuses on high-impact advertising, game cinematics, experiential entertainment, music videos and brand content, while also taking on selected episodic and feature-film work. Its bi-coastal US operation connects teams in New York and Los Angeles with a dedicated Bangalore creative team through a hybrid production model.
