How I Got a Job @ Industrial Light & Magic
If you’re studying film, TV, or animation, this is an event you can’t miss.
Adam Wong is a VFX Artist at Industrial Light & Magic – the studio behind Star Wars and Jurassic Park. But just a few years ago, he was a student figuring out his next move. His break came through the ArtBound Initiative Internship Program in New York, which kickstarted his career across NYC, Melbourne, Brisbane & Sydney.
Now, with credits on films (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, The Power of the Dog), and global ads (League of Legends, Taco Bell), Adam’s ready to share what it actually takes to stand out in the competitive world of VFX and entertainment.
Come hang, ask your questions, and hear from someone who’s been exactly where you are.
Space is minimal, so if you’re interested in this workshop, register before the available spots fill up!
