S06E12: Alyssa Zarate: Betting on Yourself
From the quiet beginnings in a Malaysian town to the
vibrant creative landscape of Christchurch, Alyssa
Zarate’s journey is one of determination. With a passion
for film and a dream to create but no direct line on how
to get there, Alyssa’s career began in programming and
over the years has evolved into a set of skills that
have shaped her and her career.
From supporting herself with hospitality jobs between gigs,
training in several different programs and taking jobs in
diverse disciplines, she never lost sight of the final goal:
storytelling. Alyssa constantly took chances, risks, and
seized opportunities that would later prove invaluable.
In this conversation, Alyssa shares her story of perseverance,
and how she went from labouring over matte paintings to
contributing to notable series and films including "Spartacus"
and Prometheus before finding herself in Vancouver and a long
tenure at Sony Pictures ImageWorks before taking yet another
leap: giving back to the community via her new project The VFX
Mentor.
