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.

Bite Size Learning Lunch
Media and entertainment law firm Simkins LLP will be holding a lunchtime bitesize session for AWUK members titled “AI: Drawing the Legal Landscape” providing an overview of AI, the law and its relation to those working in animation, and presented by Partner Jules Althoff and Associate Sophie Neal. The seminar will cover: (1) the current legal landscape as it relates to AI, (2) how the law might protect existing animated works; and (3) what to consider if you are using AI tools to create existing works. The seminar will take place online and will last for 30 minutes, after which there will be an opportunity to ask questions.
