The CSI Group is pleased to announce the promotion of VP/Executive Producer Rich Cannava to the position of President & Partner. Cannava joined CSI in 2004 as a Video Editor & Motion Designer and throughout his career has demonstrated creative and technical proficiency and an emerging strength in communication, management and leadership skills. Most recently, Cannava managed the Video and Motion Design Department drawing from his extensive practical experience, working closely with production crews, editors and motion designers in a collaborative and effective way.

For two weeks at the end of every summer, New York City becomes the center of the sporting world. Hundreds of thousands of fans will attend and millions more will watch worldwide as the top tennis players in the world compete to become the US Open Champion.

With this opportunity in hand, Citizen has once again teamed up with Overskies to create compelling content to showcase their partnership with the US Open and to demonstrate the features and technologies that make Citizen one of the most innovative watch brands in the world.
