De Wet’s  visual effects supervision credits include The Hunger Games franchise, The Meg, Hellboy II, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The Matrix Reloaded.

Having admired their work for years, I’m excited to help grow the Los Angeles presence and collaborate with this visionary group to bring bold, inventive ideas to life for filmmakers worldwide.”
