Sohonet and vfx production technology studio Bind are expanding their strategic partnership. to make Bind’s full platform available through Sohonet, giving productions a single route to run a VFX pipeline.
This builds on the strategic partnership the two companies forged in spring 2025, which integrated Sohonet’s FileRunner and ClearView Flex into the Bind platform as its file transport and real-time review engines. Those integrations have been deployed on major film and television productions, including Netflix’s Monster: he Ed Gein Story, where Bind Hub and Sohonet’s FileRunner powered an automated review workflow handling up to 350 VFX shots per episode.
For VFX projects, workstations, storage, pipeline, rendering, secure file transfer, vendor submission, and frame-accurate remote review are integrated. .
Jason Fotter, CEO of Bind Studio said, “Bind exists to reduce the number of technology decisions productions need to make on a VFX project. We’ve spent 25 years in the trenches running visual effects on real shows, and we’ve taken that experience and turned it into a platform that lets filmmakers stop thinking about technology and start thinking about the story. Combined with the vast offerings from Sohonet, that’s now an easy button any production in the world can press.”
For Sohonet, customers who already work with its Media Fabric infrastructure and ClearView review suite can now add a VFX production environment.
“Sohonet’s Media Fabric is about removing friction between the people who make content and the tools and infrastructure that the creative pipeline requires,” said Chuck Parker, CEO of Sohonet (pictured). “Our expanded partnership with Bind Studio extends that mantra into the vfx pipeline for productions. Together we’re offering something neither of us could offer alone: a complete workflow solution for productions, delivered with the security, reliability, and global support that productions expect from Sohonet.”
Powered by FileRunner, Bind Hub automates the submission, tracking, and distribution of shots between vendors, VFX production teams, and editorial.
