Meet Matteo Veglia

As a seasoned VFX Producer with over 10 years of experience, I've worked across the industry from major studios like Industrial Light & Magic and Wētā FX to innovative companies like Cantina Creative and DistilleryVFX.

My career spans high-profile projects including Star Wars, Marvel productions, major Netflix and Disney+ series, and blockbuster features. I specialise in ShotGrid implementations, pipeline optimisation, and building scalable VFX workflows.

At Astra Lumen Images, I combine these production expertise with tool development, creating solutions that address real-world challenges I've encountered across dozens of productions.
