Spaz Williams: Monster Maker

Are all geniuses rebels? Steve “Spaz” Williams changed movie history creating the first realistic monsters in James Cameron’s Abyss, Terminator 2, and Jurassic Park. Now the big new doc “Jurassic Punk” reveals how he refused to play the game, got ignored at the Oscars, got pissed in more ways than one, and maybe found contentment. On our podcast we talk about it all as we get a tour of his beautiful house in the Ozarks and pretend we get all the techy bits. Steve “Spaz” Williams grew up inToronto, studied animation at Sheridan College, then moved to California to work for Industrial Light and Magic. He worked with James Cameron and George Lucas creating the world’s first computer generated monsters on the Abyss, Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. He is now the subject of a huge documentary called Jurassic Punk. He now lives in the Ozarks but is holding onto his Canadian passport. We love writing and would love for you to read what we write.
