To produce a film festival with 147 films, and thousands of festival enthusiasts, it takes generous help from festival sponsors and contributors.

The New Post Group, based out of Hollywood, encompasses eight companies, including The Post Group and Runway.

For the first time, AFI FEST 2006 presented by Audi is working with The Post Group to provide post-production equipment throughout the festival.

The company provides full services in editorial, telecine, and digital scanning for television and film with such clients as CSI and WAR OF THE WORLDS.

The festival takes flight with The Post Group's donation of five Digibeta Decks for film projection, a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor and editing stations, as well as DVCAM decks for AOL Moviefone's AFI FEST digital gateway.

Donations also include duplication and HDCAM conversion for the official festival trailer.

The Post Group sponsors a happy hour on the AFI FEST Rooftop Village, Thursday, November 9, 6:00 PM, on the 7th floor of ArcLight Hollywood's parking structure.
