Hi, I’m
Mario Leone
Environment/Prop Artist
Summary
Ciao! I'm Mario and I come from Italy. My heart truly beats for Vfx,
it's something that I'm super passionate about and I've been studying it for quite some time now. Having finished my studies I'm eager to dive into the industry and start applying all the knowledge and skills that I've acquired. I will move to Canada chasing my dream job in march, it is a huge investment but it's what I want to do in my life: working in a Vfx studio and contribute to the realization of amazing Films.
Thank you
