"Ad Astra" has been such a nice surprise for me. As a start, the whole VFX production of the film was supposed to happen in a different location. Hence, I knew very little about the project, until I received a phone call from the VFX supervisor. He explained what they were trying to achieve and [...]

Since I loved working on Prometheus, I was very excited at the prospect of contributing to its sequel: Alien Covenant. Despite the fact that I knew it would have been a much more marginal involvement, as this time the bulk of the work was supposed to be done by the MPC Montreal office...and...I was about [...]
