The Technicolor VFX Mentorship is a unique immersive experience for an emerging VFX professional. The inaugural recipient will spend three weeks at Technicolor expanding their knowledge of the VFX production cycle, the role of the VFX Supervisor, and best practices for planning and budgeting; and get hands on experience with the latest software and processes. They will also shadow and participate in one-on-one meetings with key Technicolor team members.

“We are so excited to be a part of this opportunity. We want this to be an empowering and inspiring experience for the mentee, expanding their knowledge of visual effects while fostering their existing talents.”

—Kevin Chandoo, Creative Director / VFX Supervisor, Technicolor Toronto VFX Artists

“We’re thrilled to have Technicolor join our roster of mentorship opportunities for emerging talent. This partnership represents WIFT-T’s commitment to providing emerging professionals with career development opportunities that highlight the numerous entry points and roles in the industry. At WIFT-T, our goal is to highlight the diverse possibilities existing in the industry and provide the tools needed for women to emerge and thrive as vocal, innovative, and visionary leaders in Canadian media.”
