"After 17 years in business, CafeFX/ComputerCafe has decided to officially
close its doors. The current economic climate and global marketplace have
made it unrealistic for us to continue to deliver the highest quality visual
effects work, which has been our hallmark, at a competitive price and a
sustaining profit. With a resume of over eighty award-winning feature films
and hundreds of commercials, music videos, game trailers, ride projects and
broadcast opens, we are very proud of what we have achieved over the years.
We end our company's relationship with the industry we love with pride in
our contributions and our heads held high.
We want to thank our many clients for their friendship, confidence, and
support in the multitude of groundbreaking projects awarded us over the
years. We would also like to thank our competitors, who always kept us on
our toes by pushing the envelope. We have watched your work on the latest
films with a mixture of awe and envy, as you continue to exceed industry
expectations and thrill audiences around the world. You have our utmost
respect.
We want to thank our families and advisors who have stood by us and have
given their patience and understanding on how to stay sane and viable
through these turbulent times in our industry, our state and our country.
But most importantly, we would like to thank our staff and all the
incredibly talented people that have come through our doors. You are CafeFX.
Your hard work, dedication and passion are what made us such a great studio.
Because of you we were able to accomplish the impossible over and over
again. Words cannot truly express how much we appreciate all that you have
done to keep us successful for so many years. We will especially never
forget our core staff, who helped to make CafeFX a unique and magical place,
and who have now become life long friends and colleagues. Thank you all from
the bottom of our hearts, you are an exceptional group of people.
We will see you soon.

Sad to see so many great CG studios closing down.
