David Kleinman Joins Giantstep As Managing Director

Creative technology company Giantstep Studios has welcomed David Kleinman as Managing Director of its Los Angeles office. Most recently, Kleinman consulted for Giantstep, helping the 13-year-old studio expand its footprint in the US and generate awareness of its innovation in digital technology for entertainment, including XR (extended reality) and AI solutions, along with traditional design, animation, and visual effects capabilities.

Kleinman launched his career as a live-action producer before transitioning into VFX, where he was R&D Unit Manager for James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment during the development of the filmmaker’s record-breaking feature Avatar.

“The spirit of innovation at Giantstep is impressive,” says Kleinman. “They are a tremendously devoted team of people who enjoy cracking the code where art and technology come together — and they do it with purpose and impact. I look forward to helping the company continue on its path of innovation in the entertainment and advertising space by creating new partnerships with clients who are as excited as we are about what the future of consumer experiences looks like.”
