"I had my eye on interning with ILM for years, but joining the Jedi Academy was better than I could ever imagine! The community is rooted in supporting one another’s learning and rising together. No matter their position, everyone here is well-rounded with skills they are willing to share. During my time with the training department, I had the opportunity to see the evolving practices in Visual Effects. This experience opened a door to the film industry with connections to last a lifetime, and instilled a belief that the best projects are made in positive collaboration."

"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!"
