- Sara Bennett, Oscar winner for Alex Garland's Ex Machina and co-founder of Milk VFX, has joined Untold Studios as VFX Supervisor on its film and episodic team
- Untold Studios is currently working on Netflix's Remarkably Bright Creatures, Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars, Prime Video's The Boys, FX/Disney+'s Alien: Earth, Disney's Lilo & Stitch, and Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog 3
- Milk VFX was acquired last year by India's Phantom Digital Effects and subsequently folded into the Phantom Media Group umbrella alongside Lola Post and Tippett Studio
- Bennett will not be directly replaced at Milk; Senior VFX Supervisors Jean-Claude Deguara and Neil Roche will continue to lead creative for the studio
- Bennett co-founded Milk in London more than 10 years ago and previously served as Head of 2D at Mill TV & Film for seven years, with credits including Doctor Who, The Witcher, and The Woman King
- Untold Executive Director Christopher Gray called Bennett "one of the industry's most respected show-side VFX Supervisors, with an outstanding track record across film and television"
Why it matters: Bennett — a founder and Oscar winner — exits Milk (now under India's PMG) without a direct replacement, leaving Senior Supervisors Deguara and Roche to lead creative there. Her arrival puts an Oscar-credentialed VFX Supervisor on Untold's bench as it juggles six major projects spanning Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, FX, and Paramount.
