Upcoming Events
The origin stories and trajectories of women in VFX will be highlighted in this panel co-hosted by Donna Tracy and Diane Piepol. It will be presented in conversation with Lydia Bottegoni, Judith Crow, Laurel Klick, and Alison Yerxa. We will investigate the when, where, and how these women gained entry into the rarified world of VFX, where those paths led, along with their experience of the titanic transition of Hollywood to digital media and tools. We will also consider parallels to the current revolution underway in media production.
Each of their stories tracks unique paths, obstacles, and successes as artists, software designers, supervisors, producers, and directors working in the industry. All these women have a perspective and a vision to share that gives insight into the zeitgeist of the time in LA’s digital effects and CG communities. Their enduring determination drove them to contribute their talents, skills, and ultimately, their creative lives, while striking out upon their paths.
These women have walked through walls in their journeys. This is an opportunity to learn how they made it possible and accomplished what they have achieved.
Participants are subject to change.
