Sheena Duggal is an acclaimed visual effects supervisor, director and artist whose work has shaped numerous studio tent-pole and Academy Award nominated productions. She is known for her design skills, creative direction and visual effects supervision on blockbuster films such as VENOM 1 & 2, THE HUNGER GAMES and CONTACT.

Her pioneering inspiration and hands-on production experience also deeply contributed to the Sci-Tech Academy Awards® won for visual effects and compositing software Flame® and Inferno®.

In January 2020 Duggal was honoured by the Visual Effects Society receiving “The VES Award for Creative Excellence”.

Sheena is currently VFX supervisor for VENOM “Let There Be Carnage”, finally breaking the glass ceiling after 23 years as a VFX supervisor, and she recently completed design and prep for GHOSTBUSTERS 3.

Sheena has worked extensively with Marvel Studios as VFX Supervisor on projects including DR STRANGE, THOR “A Dark World”, IRON MAN 3, “one shot” AGENT CARTER, (for which she also designed the main title sequence).

She was also the VFX Supervisor for Marvel’s TV series AGENT CARTER, VFX supervising 2 seasons each culminating in 1,000’s of feature quality VFX shots.

In 2007 Sheena made her debut as a director on an award-winning short film to showcase the Chicago Spire, simultaneously designing all of the visual effects. To capture the essence of this extraordinary residential development, she worked closely with its architect artist Santiago Calatrava to communicate his inspirational vision for this iconic addition to the illustrious Chicago skyline. The short film has a visual narrative that takes the viewer on an intimate journey through one day of the Spire.

Already an accomplished compositor, she began in 1985 working on early generation paint software designing albums for musicians such as Elton John and George Harrison, Sheena was a pioneer Flame artist working on the worlds first Flame feature production in 1992.

Soon after, she was hired by Industrial Light & Magic as a supervising lead Flame artist on a number of high-profile projects (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, CONGO and INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD). In 1996 Duggal left ILM to join Sony Pictures Imageworks as Creative Director of High-Speed Compositing completing many films in this role, CONTACT, STARSHIP TROOPERS, CABLE GUY are just a few highlights.

Sheena is also a published photographer, she traveled to Zimbabwe and Malawi for her last 2 assignments on behalf of UK water charity Pump Aid, where she was photo-documenting how access to clean water has transformed the lives of thousands of people in rural areas.
