We were thrilled to host legendary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro at DNEG London this week!

Joining us as part of DNEG's INSPIRE Series, Guillermo del Toro took us behind the scenes of his latest film, Frankenstein.

Moderated by Andrew Schlussel, (Senior Director, Training & Development, DNEG Animation) Guillermo spent the majority of the session taking questions from our team, where he shared inspirations and production secrets, touched on the balance of adapting a classic novel for a modern audience, and gave insights into the challenges faced.
