Joan Bevan Webb is a film producer, virtual production producer, and president of Roninfilm. Webb started her career in national TV advertising, representing Oscar-winning directors for commercials. With $9M in VC capital, she built the first professional ProTools facility. Two years later, with an additional $16M in VC capital, Margarita Mix de Santa Monica was added to their roster of facilities, creating the world’s largest privately-held post-audio facility.

As CMO for a reverse merger establishing s3i Holdings IPO, the first HIPAA-compliant SaaS, she played a crucial role. In 2019, she pioneered virtual production using game engine technology. Joan led a team of Oscar and Emmy-award winning film and VFX professionals in the production of "Gods of Mars," which received two Epic Games MegaGrants for the creation of a photoreal, real-time pipeline utilizing the Unreal Engine and LED wall technologies. She went on to produce the first virtual production Super Bowl spot and, recently, the upcoming feature film "The Occult."

As an OGVP evangelist, she has introduced VP through speaking engagements and keynotes at VES, AFM, NAB, SIGGRAPH/NVIDIA, CineGear LA & Atlanta, as well as film festivals, podcasts, and webinars, with some 35 global articles written on her team's accomplishments.
