Damien Stumpf
Originally from France, Damien began his career as a digital artist in 2003 at the Parisian boutique studio BUF, where he quickly moved up the ranks and into VFX supervision. His passion for visual effects led him to take on a new challenge as one of the founding members of Atelier VFX, where he honed his business skills and gained a holistic view of the booming industry. Most notably, one of his projects, 'La Chambre Bleue,' was selected as part of the programming at the prestigious Cannes Festival. He then joined Method Studios in London for a year before relocating to Montreal to work at MPC, where his projects included Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Ghost in the Shell. As DFX Supervisor, he oversaw the VFX-heavy films Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Aquaman, before advancing to a VFX Supervisor role on Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and the critically acclaimed Cruella. In the latter, he worked closely with director Craig Gillespie.
Damien joined Framestore in 2021, bringing over two decades of experience which includes both award-winning independent and feature films. After lending his talents to season three of BBC/HBO’s His Dark Materials and Ms. Marvel, he is currently working on Disney’s live action Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot.
