In 2012 Rik Shorten and Les Lukacs launched Drawn By The Light with a client list of premiere television properties. The company quickly forged a strategic alliance with Ware, which evolved into the new executive producer role.
“The driving force in the VFX business comes down to two things; passion and people,” said Ware. “This is what I saw when deciding to join the team at Drawn By The Light. Rik and Les have immense passion for their work and respect their artists. There is a team camaraderie here that will move this company forward, and their innovative approach to their profession sets this company apart.”
“We built the company on a foundation of trusted relationships to serve the creative partnerships with our clients,” said Shorten. “The first year has been one of testing our strengths and delivering on that promise. Peter is central to our future development and expansion of the company.”
