PASSION PROJECTS SF | The Artist Behind the Effect

Meet the artists behind the films you love.

For decades, visual effects artists of the Bay Area and beyond have shaped the most iconic moments in cinema and television and created extraordinary personal work that the world rarely gets to see. Passion Projects SF exists to change that.

In a hybrid gallery, shop, and community space, we bring forward the paintings, sculptures, photographs, and stories that spring from their own creative spirit — alongside the professional work that made them legends. We connect San Francisco's extraordinary legacy of film innovation with its creative future, one artist at a time.

We're online now and growing, with a pop-up coming in 2026 and much more to come. Follow our progress and meet the artists. This is just the beginning.
