What we’re about
We offer a space for the Vancouver Visual Effects community to come together and talk about what they’re passionate about, whether it’s someone just starting to explore VFX or a Supervisor with years of experience. Our goal is to create an outlet where artists of all backgrounds, roles, and disciplines can share their journeys and insights.
Hosted at Campus VFX (formerly Lost Boys), we feature talks and events that highlight the real stories of the people who make up our industry, as well as opportunities for learning and growth.
If you work in VFX, or are curious about stepping into it, this is a place to connect with others who are as passionate about the craft as you are. This is your invitation to join the conversation and be part of something that supports and celebrates the artists behind the work.
