DISCREET OPENS AUSTRALIAN HQ

MELBOURNE
Discreet has announced the establishment of an Australian Sales Division with offices in Melbourne and Sydney. The new Discreet sales division will be headed up by former Discreet reseller, distributor and founder of Future Reality, David Edgar.

"Having been part of the Discreet family for close to ten years, this is the logical step in further expanding the company's role in the local post production and broadcast communities," said Edgar. "I am delighted to be working directly with Discreet and look forward to continuing to promote their innovative visual effects, editing and finishing systems including inferno, flame, flint, smoke and fire."

According to Paresh Kara, Discreet Director for Asia-Pacific, "Discreet is proud to expand its commitment to our customers in Australia and New Zealand. The appointment of David will ensure a continuity of business through his relationship with local customers and provide established and ongoing support in the region."

As part of the change, Scholastic Australia has been named distributor for Discreet combustion-desktop compositing and paint software, and 3ds max-professional 3D modelling and animation software.

Meanwhile, Future Reality has refocused with Dean Nurscher running the company as Sales Manager.

The company will continue to represent a range of professional film and video solutions from vendors such as AJA Video Systems, Rorke Data, Extreme Networks, Pinnacle Systems Professional tools, MindAvenue 3D web authoring tools, ADTX storage solutions, Right Hemisphere, Essential Communications, and Sparks.

"Future Reality will continue to offer a large range of exceptional products to the Australian and New Zealand markets," said Nurscher. "I am looking forward to maintaining and expanding Future Reality's customer-base, and continuing to offer the level of service for which Future Reality is renowned."
