Kimberly Dominguez has worked in Post Production nearly all of her career. After a short stint doing on-set work, she moved into the editing room. She began with feature cutting rooms, moved in to a small studio where she created airline versions and physically checking deliverables, until she finally landed in the fast paced world of the Walt Disney Studios Trailer department.
Ms. Dominguez worked as a trailer finisher during the Eisner/Katzenberg era, providing two to three trailers per title for foreign and domestic release. During her eight years there, she helped finish sixty four trailers, bummers and sizzle reels each year. The Disney Trailer department was on the cutting edge of tech finishing, so she experienced first hand, the studio's shift from a film finishing schedule of two weeks, to a digital finishing schedule, which was done in as little as three to five days.
From here she expanded her trailer making skills by helping to set up a trailer finishing division at a boutique marketing company, New Wave Entertainment. There she was able to meet studio executives and filmmakers from all over the world.
As digital cinema was gearing up, she decided to work with engineer, Mike Vigil at Disney, while they made the transition from feature film reel deliveries to digital cinema package deliveries. Ms. Dominguez was able to compare all global servers in existence as they raced for theatrical dominance, by helping to decipher what issues occurred with which server.
Soon she answered a call to learn another technology: IMAX. A company Ms. Dominguez admired since childhood. Once more she returned to creating trailers for all studios globally only this time in IMAX.
Ms Dominguez' former division at Disney was so new, it was folded into Disney's newly created Digital Studio Service division where she returned to became a Senior Digital Operator. There she helped finalize digital cinema packages for theatrical release, HD/HDR/UHD home video and streaming files.
Ms Dominguez also found spare time to write, produce and direct two plays, finish two feature scripts, create a documentary, create an art opening, work on a prop art book, and associate produce features in her spare time. She finds her greatest joy nurturing new talent and helping to tell important stories.
