“The talent was always there. What has been especially rewarding to witness is how the Norwegian VFX community has remained supportive and collaborative over the years whilst consistently delivering world-class artists and work.”

DAYNE COWAN, VFX Supervisor (DNEG, Framestore) and three-time VES Board Member

“Digital Storytelling has been the premier Nordic gathering for VFX professionals and students alike and has always been a great place to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I'm excited to see it return.”
