5. Pietro Ponti - VFX Supervisor: Leadership, vulnerability and support structures

Alfred Lindahl Episode 5

Pietro Ponti is a VFX Supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic with credits on shows like Lovecraft Country, Star Wars, Jurassic World, Harry Potter and The Dark Knight.

This conversation is mainly about leadership but is packed with great insights and advice that everyone can benefit from. We talk about vulnerability, advice for new leads, his most important insights, asking if anyone needs help and much more.

I love how informative this turned out, and the fact that Pietro is so humble and talks about his own struggles and shortcomings makes it all very relatable.
