We chat with practical visual effects artist Sahlah Tepes about her career and some tricks of the trade.
Sahlah Tepes is an SFX artist, located in Northwest Arkansas. A lifelong curiosity about how movie monsters are made and working in a haunted house in 2014 were the spark that ignited the flame.
