“Joining the BFDG was a game-changer for me that kick started my career in film. After working in the games industry for some years as a Concept Artist, the connections and support I received from my fellow Guild members were vital to breaking into the mysterious world of getting movie work. I would recommend joining the BFDG to anyone serious about a career in the Art Department.”
