London just witnessed a power move in pixels. Filmmaker and Final Post Ltd. founder Sam Bhattacharjee has launched Pink VFX, a bold initiative that’s not just breaking the glass ceiling — it’s compositing right through it. Built to empower women in the visual effects (VFX) industry, Pink VFX is here to address what the stats have long been screaming: women are drastically underrepresented in VFX, especially in leadership roles.
Fixing the Frame: Addressing Gender Disparity in VFX
The VFX industry, despite its flair for innovation, still lags behind when it comes to gender balance. Fewer than 20% of VFX professionals are women — and a meager 4% hold senior supervisory roles. Sam Bhattacharjee sees this not just as a missed opportunity, but a call to action.
“Pink VFX is more than just a VFX unit,” Bhattacharjee says. “It’s the world’s first women-led VFX outlet, created to empower, train, and elevate women across all areas of post-production.” And he’s not exaggerating — from compositing and matchmove to quality control, production, and creative supervision, Pink VFX is designed to flip the script.
The Powerhouse Behind the Pixels: Final Post Ltd.
Final Post Ltd., based in London, has long been a behind-the-scenes hero in the global film industry. Known for top-tier post-production and visual effects services, the studio boasts a portfolio that spans award-winning blockbusters, acclaimed indie shorts, and hit television content. It’s a name trusted by filmmakers worldwide — and now, it’s doubling down on social impact.
Bhattacharjee acknowledges the steep drop-off women face when moving from education into senior industry roles. “The gender gap in visual effects is undeniable — and it’s time we stepped up,” he says. “Despite more women entering VFX education, real support structures are lacking. That’s what Pink VFX aims to fix — frame by frame.”
An Open Call to Creators
More than just a campaign, Pink VFX is a full-fledged movement. It will provide mentorship, foster inclusive workplace practices, and actively recruit female talent — starting now. The initiative is currently seeking dynamic freelancers across the UK, with plans to expand into India. Whether you’re a compositing queen or a production powerhouse, Pink VFX is building the pipeline for you.
In Bhattacharjee’s words: “We’re building a new future — one where creativity has no gender.”
