Leading post-production company Cutting Edge enters voluntary liquidation

The country’s largest post-production studio Cutting Edge has entered into voluntary liquidation, after three decades working across ads, television programs, and Hollywood blockbusters.

The VFX and post-production business was placed into liquidation on June 27, with Brisbane-based Robson Cotter Insolvency Group appointed to wind down the company.

The company was launched in 1998, and has studios in Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. Its Gold Coast team has worked on numerous Hollywood blockbusters, including Aquaman, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Great Gatsby.

More recently, the company worked on Ticket to Paradise for Universal Pictures, Thirteen Lives for MGM, and Prime Video’s Nautilus. It recently wrapped post-production on the 2025 drama series Good Cop/Bad Cop.

Last September, Cutting Edge was among the first recipients of the Queensland Government’s $5 million Capital Grants program, which saw the studio receive a grant of $250,000 and $750,000.

The funding was “to undertake infrastructure works, purchase or upgrade capital equipment, or establish new premises on the Gold Coast”.

It is unclear what will become of the government funds.

Screen Queensland CEO Jacqui Feeney told movie industry publication Inside Film it was aware of Cutting Edge’s collapse, and is “considering its options” regarding the management of the Capital Grants funding.
