This week we catch up with a rising star in the industry, Rishabh Laheja, a Junior Digital Compositor at MPC.  Realizing that a career in IT was not for him. Rishabh began studying nights and eventually putting together a compositing showreel with the help of working industry teachers and mentors he reached out to via Linkedin. Launching his new career exactly in the middle of the Covid lockdowns. Rishabh won a remote role at MPC Bangalore and has already worked as a compositor on huge shows such as Prehistoric Planet and HBO's House of Dragons. As he says in the opening, "It's a rollercoaster ride, you may want to buckle up!" As always, if you liked this episode, please 👍 like, 📝 comment, 📢 subscribe, and 📣 share!
