Our Vision
To see a change in the UK's animation and VFX 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 animation or VFX pipeline. This change will be visible when we see results such as: better female characters on screen, an increase in women-led start-ups and an increase in women winning awards in technical areas.
