👋 Say hello to our Futurefolk interns for 2025. After a record number of talented applicants we are thrilled to introduce our two interns Sophia and Leon.

Sophia Harrington (2D) is a big fan of the Coen brothers films and says to work on one would be a dream come true. Whilst their films aren't VFX heavy "I really appreciate when VFX is used invisibly to help set a scene into a specific time and place or contribute towards building a more heightened or stylised world – such as those in the Coens’ films"

Leon House (3D) is going into his third year at University and is an aspiring CG generalist/ lighting artist "although I think my ultimate goal is to end up working in visual development"

Our interns gain real world experience of working in a VFX studio alongside award winning professionals. ⁠
⁠
Stay tuned to see their progress, we hope it inspires you to apply next year.⁠
⁠
Futurefolk will be open again in 2026 so check out our previous posts with tips of getting into internships.

🛹 TRAILER of Juliet Klottrup's 'Skate Like a Lass' is out! The film was graded by Edward Webb at Freefolk

The film explores grassroots and marginalised skateboarding communities in the North of England. Bridging a gap in historical documentation of skateboarding.

"The brief was simple - to embrace the characteristics of the formats with vibrant colours popping on the film footage. Grading in-person allowed us to finesse the finer details"

"Feeding off the traditional aesthetics of skate films, the film was shot on multiple formats - digital, DV and Super 8. I like the creativity that Super 8 allows, in maintaining authenticity to the subject while also being quite bold with the look" says Edward.

Edward also graded Juliets' short Travelling Home.
