Before Pixels, There Was Fire is a documentary about veteran practical effects artists whose physical, in-camera techniques helped create iconic films including JAWS, Star Wars, Titanic, Armageddon, and The Hurt Locker. As digital effects and AI reshape filmmaking, the documentary explores the legacy and potential loss of practical effects craftsmanship and the artists working to preserve these skills for future generations.
