Mosaic Studios

Mosaic Studios is an independent, artist-owned visual effects company established in January 2025 by VFX supervisor and CEO Dave Zeevalk and systems architect Luiz Garrido. Built by veteran artists formerly associated with Assembly’s VFX division, the studio launched as a standalone business following Assembly’s closure and operates across film, episodic streaming, and commercial work.

The studio uses a cloud-native production model built on Amazon Web Services rather than heavy on-premise server infrastructure. Elasticly provisioned workstations, storage, AI engineering tools, and render capacity allow its teams to scale around the demands of a sequence. This approach combines direct creative collaboration with directors and post-production teams with a globally distributed network of senior digital artists.

Mosaic’s work spans feature films, streaming and episodic television, and advertising. Its reported credits include Caught Stealing, The Beauty, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, Crutch, The Bear season four, The Chosen season six, Bono: Stories of Surrender, and a Major League Baseball Opening Day commercial for Peacock.

The company’s operating model was designed for rapid, flexible production: approved work can be distributed through its cloud pipeline while maintaining hands-on creative communication with productions. Its physical presence in New York, New Jersey, and London supports work for productions across the United States and Europe.
