Jurassic Punk

"Jurassic Punk" offers a captivating glimpse into the revolutionary world of computer animation through the lens of Steve "Spaz" Williams, a visionary pioneer whose groundbreaking work reshaped the landscape of visual effects. With a compelling narrative, the documentary delves into Williams' pivotal role in bringing iconic creatures to life in films like "Jurassic Park" and "Terminator 2," showcasing his ingenuity amidst a backdrop of rebellion and innovation at Industrial Light & Magic. For aficionados of early VFX history, this film is a must-see, providing intimate insights into Williams' creative process while also serving as a cautionary tale of the personal struggles, including his battle with alcoholism, that often accompany such monumental achievements.

Honest. Genuine. Candid. Courageous & Insightful. I've of this story for a long time, so it was a revelation to see it fully told. The DNA of every CG professional can probably be traced back to this specific person place and time. That's what defines a living legend.

Brutally honest on how hierarchical structures and politics play a role in the VFX cinema industry. The true pioneer underdog.

I love this movie! :)

If you grew up seeing Spaz in fleeting VFX specials from the 90s, this is the full story he deserves and we're all better for seeing it.

A brutally honest documentary about one of, if not THE most important people in modern film making. You don't summarize a man like Spaz Williams. It can't be done, but what you see here is a glimpse at what drives some people to greatness. And the same things that give a person freedom of spirit can be the demon that makes it hard to exist in a world of constraints. I hope he knows how many "holy shit" moments he's already created (in a great way). I don't want to post a spoiler, but that ole dog still has a lot of fight still left in him. I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.

This is a very resonating documentary. All the movies Steve worked on are some of the greatest of our childhood and the effects and scenes used in them still hold till date because they were done with such passion. Hope steve gets his second shot at greatness!!

A compelling story about talent, rebellion and the sadness of a system which rewards political skills over creative ones. Nevertheless, there is always time to reborn. Steve you are a true inspiration. Thanks for making my childhood such a beautiful dream.
