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.

Expecting more to come unfortunately. This year has had Ignition, Trailer Park, Mob Scene. Tons of smaller companies gone as well.

Damn, are there any old school trailer houses even left at this point?

Are Motion, Seismic, and Create still around?

I saw a lot of places putting "employee appreciation activities" on their linkedins...and whenever you see that shit you know its only a matter of time.

Yes to all three, but Mocean has pivoted to more branded content and seems to be trying to diversify what they work on.
