VFS All Access Pass | Makeup Design for Film & Television

VFS All Access Pass is your exclusive backstage access to Vancouver Film School’s industry-leading Makeup Design for Film & Television program and a chance to experience your future in the production makeup industry.

MEET THE HEAD OF THE PROGRAM
Stan Edmonds, (Scary Movie, The Butterfly Effect, I Robot) explains how VFS’s Makeup Design program launches your career in production makeup and how it has created award-winning artists. In 2024, alumni Suzie Klimack and Emily Walsh both won Emmys for their makeup artistry on the Disney+ smash-hit Shōgun (14 total VFS Makeup alumni worked on the show!). Additionally, our Makeup alumni have won 68 IMATS, 9 Leos, and even the SYFY competition reality series Face Off. These accolades are no fluke; find out why!

EXPERIENCE A LIVE PROSTHETIC TRANSFORMATION

Watch in real-time throughout the event as a VFS Makeup Artist applies prosthetics to a subject and get a detailed look at the products they’re using. The big reveal happens at the end of the day; witness the subject’s spooktacular Halloween transformation into Frankenstein’s monster. You’ll also get to view a video demo on staining teeth and see the terrifying effects that this process has on an actor (something right out of the likes of Evil Dead)!

PRODUCTION MAKEUP SHOW & TELL

VFS’s Makeup department will “show & tell” the prosthetics, life casts, molds, masks, wigs, hairpieces, etc. that you'll use in the program, allowing you to take a close look at a variety of industry-standard tools the professionals use. You’ll also take a look at the official VFS Makeup Kit – your essential starter kit that you receive as part of your tuition on Day 1 at VFS.

YOUR PERSONAL PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The final portion of the event will be dedicated to portfolio reviews with our faculty. Don’t be shy! The VFS Makeup department is looking forward to reviewing your work – anything on your phone or in a physical portfolio that illustrates your passion for makeup design. You’ll also have the chance to view past student work to see what you could achieve at VFS.

EXPERIENCE ALL THAT THE PROGRAM OFFERS

VFS’s industry-leading program trains makeup artists in a full-immersion studio environment to tell stories through production makeup – all in just 12 months. Learn how VFS trains you faster than any other school so that you can join the industry and be part of a Makeup alumni that’s worked on Oppenheimer, The Last of Us, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and more.
