Episode Synopsis

Tune in for 'part two' of this week's episode where we continue our conversation with Lara Hopkins, Head of Studio for Framestore Melbourne.

Listen as this week's guest co-host, Kathleen Ruffalo, Recruitment Manager, USA, takes over the Framestore Podcast and grills Lara on her leadership role, inspirations and her route into the VFX industry.

We discuss the impact the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike has had on the industry, Lara's views on where she sees the landscape of VFX content evolving, and what she is most excited about having moved into the Head of Studio role for Framestore Melbourne. 

Kathleen asks Lara if she thinks people are born 'natural leaders' or if it's a skill that can be developed or learned, we discuss Lara's role as a champion for promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity in the industry and we explore whether, in the hypothetical scenario of winning the lottery, would Lara still be connected to VFX.

Enjoy!
