I sat down with Anna Mauro, a Brazilian real-time VFX artist who made a fearless jump from publishing into the world of real-time VFX at the age of 30, with no formal art background. Just drive, curiosity, and a love for building stories through movement and light.

And as always we also dig into the difference between AI art and human intention, and why the little imperfections we bring to our work matter more than ever. If you're figuring things out, feeling behind, or just need a reminder that it's not too late to start something new this one’s for you.
