Six-time Emmy-winner Phil Roman, who in February departed Film Roman, the animation company he founded in 1984 [AF 02/16/99], has announced the formation of his new company, privately owned Phil Roman Entertainment in Studio City, California. Roman is president and chief executive officer of the full service animation firm. The new company will create, develop and produce traditional and computer animation for TV, features, commercials and promotions. The Roman company is expected to announce a number of projects soon. "Starting up again is great," says the 40+ year animation veteran, Phil Roman. "It was too early for me to quit the career I love and I'm totally energized now that I'm free of corporate responsibilities. The animation doors of my new company are wide open to service any and all opportunities within the industry." On April 7, Roman will be given a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Beverly Hilton Hotel by the Imagen Foundation, an organization that honors positive portrayals of Hispanics in the entertainment industry.
