Special Effects Makeup

West Side High School students get gory and creative with their special effects makeup.

“We were very excited for our second annual SFX makeup workshop with Montclair Film. We loved to see our students explore the special effects makeup profession. For some students, this opened the door to a profession they hadn’t considered.  We hope to do it again next year!”
