LONDON - Oscar-winning VFX supervisor Sara Bennett has joined forces with Untold Studios (https://untoldstudios.tv) as part of the company’s expanding film & episodic team. Bennett comes to the studio from Milk, the London-based VFX facility she co-founded in 2013. There, she built an award-winning body of work across feature film and high-end television projects.
