Mutli-disciplinary Jedi Academy - London 2025

"I had an incredible experience during my internship at ILM. I got to learn from some true industry giants, grow as a software developer, meet artists in every field, and ask a million questions about their day to day lives. On top of that, getting to learn from so many experienced developers truly gave me experience I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. By the time the summer was over, all I was thinking was "how can I come back?""

"The Jedi academy for me was an opportunity to learn and grow as a beginner artist in a brand new specialized area like Paint & Roto! The ability to experiment & upskill in a safe and supportive environment really boosted my confidence as a VFX artist. The connections formed along the way; both other Jedi & department crew, only added to the positive experience of it all!"
