The organization ACCESS:VFX has launched a campaign to raise 10,000 pounds. The goal is to fund the infrastructure of its online mentoring program, ensuring it remains free. Backed by more than 70 studios and schools, the initiative promotes diversity and inclusion in VFX, animation, and video games, connecting emerging talents with professionals.
Digital infrastructure as a pillar for inclusion 💻
The program relies on robust online platforms to manage thousands of connections between mentors and apprentices. The funds will be used to maintain and scale these systems, which are key for virtual sessions, peer management, and shared resources. In a sector where software and hardware evolve, ensuring stable access to these tools is fundamental to reducing entry barriers.
Because finding a mentor shouldn't be like searching for a render without artifacts 🎯
In an industry where sometimes it seems easier to contact a film director than a professional willing to guide, this program solves the problem. Now you can avoid the traditional method of sending messages into the unknown on LinkedIn, hoping someone responds between their pile of emails and delivery deadlines. It's almost like having a keyboard shortcut for your career.
