S05E10: Henrique Reginato — Seize Opportunity

Henrique Reginato was always artistically inclined but he came to visual storytelling through, of all things, radio. After a series of false starts, Henrique found himself far from home and family at Vancouver Film School. The goal was simple: finish the program, return to Brazil and start a career but the universe had other plans and instead, Henrique found himself working and settling down in Vancouver. After years of working in studios, Henrique ventured out on his own in 2020 and launched NOX Visual Effects, a visual effects bureau with a focus on compositing but being "the boss" sometimes means making mistakes. In our candid conversation, Henrique shares valuable tips on surviving contract work, the importance of networking and mentorship, and insight into launching a business.
