“I love this team! I came to them with a bunch of insane shots and they knocked them out of the ballpark! Paul and the rest of the Foxtrot X-Ray team were fast, did amazing work, and helped me achieve the impossible on my limited budget.”
— Tom Putnam

Based on the story of renowned butterfly expert Robert Pyle (David Cross) who embarked on a life-changing trek through one of America's most important unprotected wildlands in the summer of 1995. (IMDb)

Starring David Cross and Debra Messing, and based on a best-selling memoir, The Dark Divide features invisible VFX work by the team at Foxtrot X-Ray. We created effects for 65 shots in the film, including cleanup, mountain replacements and other scenic enhancements, trail sign cleanup and editing, and extensive digital makeup work on Debra Messing’s bald caps and wigs.
