“We’re sincerely delighted to have Jon Peters become a newly elected VES Bay Area board member,” said David Tanaka, VES section chairman, Bay Area/Northern California. “Over the years, Jon has helped the VES Bay Area section many times as a dedicated local VES member, offering videography, postproduction and archiving services on numerous occasions, including a 2012 Ralph McQuarrie Tribute, the Mill Valley Film Festival, Raiders of the Lost Ark 30th Anniversary and Star Wars 35th Anniversary retrospectives, to name a few. We appreciate all that Jon and Athena Studios have done for the VES Bay Area Section in the past, and we look forward to future collaborations with Jon and his company through his new capacity as a board member.”
“I am thrilled to play a more integral role in the Northern California Visual Effects Society,” Peters said. “I am looking forward to helping our members by creating a greater understanding of visual effects and their role in filmmaking, as well as having the opportunity to educate our members on other aspects of effects through panel discussions and other events.”
