Our Vision

To see a change in the UK's VFX and animation industries

We want women from all backgrounds of the industry and at every stage in their career to fulfill their potential and realise their dreams. We value openness, honesty and a positive approach towards collaborating with women and men to achieve our mission.

We want to support a network of women who can help each other achieve success at every stage of the VFX or animation pipeline. This change will be visible when we see results such as: better female characters on screen, an increase in women-led start-ups, an increase in women winning awards in technical areas and more women in senior/supervisor/leadership roles.
