So my job was doing mainly visual effects,&quot; sabi ni Belen sa panayam ng Teleradyo.Kalauna&#x27;y lumipat si Belen sa Singapore, kung saan nagpatuloy siya sa paggawa ng mga commercial. Doon umano siya na-recruit ng kompanyang Double Negative para mag-train sa London kaugnay sa mga pelikula.Aminado umano si Belen na hindi naging madali ang pagpasok niya sa pagtatrabaho sa Hollywood films.&quot;It was very competitive, I gotta be honest. At that time, I was very lukcy and fortunate na I was in Singapore with my family and bigla dumating &#x27;yong company... and they wanted to hire people na they have no experience in film, they want to work on Hollywood films and be trained in London for one year,&quot; kuwento niya.&quot;Alam niyo naman mga Pinoy, magaling naman dumiskarte. &#x27;Yong software na inaral ko, pagdating ko doon, first time ko gamitin so within the three weeks, pinaaral sa&#x27;kin &#x27;yong software,&quot; aniya.&quot;It was a very, very challenging time pero noong nakita nila na kaya ko &#x27;yon, they just kept giving me more and more work, so I got to work on bigger and bigger films,&quot; dagdag niya.Ayon kay Belen, pagkatapos ng COVID-19 pandemic, mas marami nang film studio ang naghahanap ng talent mula sa ibang bansa.&quot;Kasi ang dami nang pelikula, mainstream sa cinema, sa theaters, mayroon pa tayong streaming services na naglalabas ng content so &#x27;yong demand for talent is ever-growing,&quot; sabi niya.&quot;What&#x27;s good about it, we can work remotely na kasi nago-open up &#x27;yong studios to get more talent overseas. Dati, it&#x27;s so limited to people working from the US, Canada or Europe pero ngayon, kahit saan, kung mayroon kang portfolio na maipapakita mo. And resources are available online na ngayon,&quot; dagdag niya.

Suwerte at pagsusumikap ang naging susi kaya nakapagtrabaho ang isang Filipino-Canadian visual effects artists sa ilang blockbuster na pelikula sa Hollywood.
