17 years of sparks, growth, and great people. 🎇
Kristi has been part of the Next FX story for 17 years—and she’s seen it all. From the old plant to the campus we have today, she’s watched our team, products, and productions grow bigger every year.

What keeps her motivated? Seeing new shows come through and knowing the effects built right here will light up stages around the world. And according to Kristi, the best part is the people—a group that works hard, laughs a lot, and always has a good time together.

Those tiny pellets? They’re the stars behind the spectacle.

A single 22mm mine can hold 48 stars.
A 30mm mine? About 58.
And larger 100mm mines use 14 much bigger stars.

For just one project, we might press 1.5–2 million pellets… producing up to 165,000 in a single day. 🔥

It’s precision manufacturing, Montana craftsmanship, and a lot of sparks behind the scenes—so when the cue hits, the moment is unforgettable.
