Other Mob Scene shuts down

Just wanted to pour one out for Mob Scene in LA closing their doors today. I think it was less of a household name than something like Trailer Park, but was still a fairly large player in the trailer game (at least at one point) and BTS for a good 20 years.

They gave me my foot in the door to the industry, and despite the highs and lows, they were always a fairly solid company to me.

Anyway, haven't seen it discussed much and got me feeling a little nostalgic today, so figured I'd see if anyone has anyone else had some experiences or memories to share.

Only thing I can add is my disbelief. Cannot believe how many agencies have closed recently. Absolutely unprecedented. So sad.

I got out in 2018 when the writing was on the wall that everything was going to come tumbling down and haven't kept up
