The artists responsible for Stepping Up Creatives are Kate Blythe and Kari Anderson. Two Vancouver BC Film and Television Makeup artists. Both love working in film but they have decided they need something more, and helping the community grow through education is their next move. So the decision to start a company that facilitates further training for film industry professionals seemed like the logical move. So far the response has been great with members of the community wanting to teach classes and help elevate the skillset of the community.
