ACCESS:VFX is an international industry-led non-profit of 40 leading companies, industry bodies, and educational establishments in the VFX, animation, and games industries. It has brought together over 100 professionals to address a lack of diversity in the VFX industry, and its EDI efforts are organized under the four pillars of Inspiration, Education, Mentoring, and Recruitment. ACCESS:VFX’s work has resulted in over 50 events across Canada, the US, and the UK. In addition, an e-mentoring program has connected over 100 people aged 13-41 to VFX industry members (with 70% of the mentees being people of colour and/or female).

In 2019, ACCESS:VFX  introduced Q-VFX, an inclusive LGBTQI+ community hub for staff and aspiring talent to access information, events, mentorships, and support. It aims to create a supportive queer community/space with regular meetups, outreach, and events to help encourage EDI and opportunity across the creative technology industry.
