"I joined the school in 2009, a few years after it began (formerly known as Lost Boys), and over time helped grow it into what is now, Campus VFX.
The heart of that evolution was shaped by my own earlier experience in film school, where students were often treated like a number: fighting for attention, watching part-time instructors get stretched thin, and sitting through filler classes that didn’t truly build mastery. I wanted the opposite, small classes where everyone is known by name, full-time instructors who stay with you, and training that’s focused on mastering the skills studios actually hire for.

As a mother and as someone who later discovered I have ADHD, I’m especially committed to creating a safe, fair environment for creative and technical students, including those who are neurodiverse. Every student deserves the same opportunity to succeed, and we’re proud when studios tell us they hire our grads not only because they’re skilled, but because they’re the kind of people teams want around.

We offer a studio-style immerse learning with hands-on projects, daily critiques, and production environments that mirror real studios. We offer both in-person and online programs for students who are serious about building their future in film, TV, and games. Whether you're just getting started or ready to specialize, we’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

Today, as Campus VFX, we continue to grow but we haven’t lost what made us special. We remain a boutique institution, intentionally small so that every student receives the attention they deserve. We know our students by name. We know their goals and ambitions and we help them reach them. Our graduates have worked on some of the biggest films and series in the world.
