On a landmark day for Nepal’s animation and VFX community, we witnessed the official inauguration of the Animation & VFX Artists’ Association of Nepal (AVAAN) — a long-awaited initiative set to uplift and unify creatives across the country.
The event was graced by the inspiring presence of Jeremy Vickery, former Lighting Director at Pixar, renowned mentor, and a true visionary in the global animation space. Alongside him, Mr. Dinesh DC, the dynamic President of the Film Development Board Nepal, shared his vision for the future of Nepalese cinema and digital arts, reinforcing his support for the growth of this industry.
Their presence made the event not only memorable but also deeply motivating for artists, studios, and students alike.
