Heath Ryan.
When you think of virtual production, you might think of Jon Favreau’s The Lion King and The Mandalorian. However, Heath Ryan is setting out to showcase that such techniques can be used even on projects without a Disney budget.
Ryan, managing director of boutique post house Pace Pictures, is an Aussie who’s been based in LA for the last 20 years. Within his studio, the editor and producer has a virtual green screen stage running on Unreal Engine, and he’s been ramping up his capabilities since the pandemic began.
His interest in such technology goes back “a generation” to virtual reality; he was involved with staging VR and Ar concerts for events like Coachella and Lollapalooza, as well as the Macy’s Day Parade.

Sound vet Michael Minkler — who won Oscars as a rerecording mixer on Dreamgirls, Chicago and Black Hawk Down — has become a partner in production services firm Pace.

It's part of a larger growth strategy for Pace and its production service partner IgnitedSpaces. In early 2017, Heath Ryan-led Pace moved its operations (it previously has small spaces in Westwood and Studio City) to IgnitedSpaces’ now 45,000 sq. foot facility, which is a stone’s throw from Hollywood & Highland.
