This upcoming project is very small in scope, and is an original and elevated sci-fi/horror story.
JOB: Looking for a collaborative, resourceful, and experienced VFX Artist with strong experience with platforms such as Unreal Engine, generative AI, etc., and with a strong artistic eye and visual perspective.

We would love to hire someone who also might have ideas based upon what we discuss and what is needed. This is a collaborative environment! Additionally, some standard painting/rotoscoping throughout will be needed. The film will be shot on a RED and end up in B&W.
