…and the Force is with them
VanArts is excited to give a shout-out to our Visual Effects alumni who contributed to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story from Industrial Light & Magic’s (ILM) Vancouver studio. Getting to work on a Star Wars film is a dream come true for anyone who loves movies!

Sujil Sukumaran is a 2011 VFX graduate originally from India. Upon graduation he was immediately hired by Digital Domain in Vancouver. Since then he has been an FX Technical Director at MPC, Sony Pictures Imageworks and ILM adding his name to the credits of Gozilla, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tomorrowland, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Deepwater Horizon and others.
