His career includes being a part of the recent growth behind such studios as Sony Imageworks and Industrial Light & Magic, in addition to serving as Head of Digital Studio for Rainmaker and CIS here in his home town of Vancouver.

Currently, Jason is Head of Image Engine Vancouver, and here is what he has to say about VanArts:

"Of all the local schools that we look to hire for our junior positions in visual effects, we always start with VanArts. The grads are consistently the most production-ready, with the right attitude and the broadest & best understanding of how production workflow occurs in a professional environment. There is a high success rate for continued employment for VanArts graduates."

Thank you Jason!
