Yang recently VFX supe’d ‘The Shrink Next Door’.
Kaitlyn Yang is the founder of Alpha Studios, the first woman-owned visual effects company in the US. She also happens to have been born with spinal muscular atrophy.
In this new episode of VFX Futures, she tells Ian Failes from befores & afters about the path to starting Alpha–a long journey from China to the States, but where a passion for filmmaking, design and VFX made her goals clear. Among her many VFX credits, Yang was recently the visual effects supervisor on the Apple TV+ series, The Shrink Next Door, which we discuss in the podcast. We also dive into the current state of play of diversity in the visual effects industry.
