Dawn Dininger

At 15-years-old, when a professional special effects artist spoke at her high school, Dawn knew what she wanted to do for a career. After graduating with a BFA from West Georgia College (now the University of West Georgia), Dawn moved to Northern California, where she was mentored by ILM FX legend, Devon Ryan.
