Hi everyone,
I’m an Emmy-nominated VFX Supervisor with over 25 years in the film industry, working on more than 20 major productions across sci-fi, fantasy, and action.
Most recently, I was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for my work on Stranger Things Season 4. Before that, I had the chance to supervise the Oscar-winning Dune: Part One, which also picked up a BAFTA for Best Visual Effects.
Over the years, I’ve contributed to films like Alien: Covenant, X-Men: Apocalypse, Fantastic Beasts, The Predator, Men in Black: International, Death on the Nile, and many more.
In 2023, the University of Wolverhampton—where I studied—awarded me a Doctor Honoris Causa for my contributions to the arts, which was a huge personal honor.

Welcome to Stage 32, Manolo Mantero Tocino! I’m Ashley, the Head of Community here, and it’s an honor to have someone of your caliber join the platform. Your work on Stranger Things, Dune: Part One, and so many genre-defining films is incredibly inspiring. Congratulations on your Emmy nomination and the Doctor Honoris Causa, what a remarkable journey.
Given your background, I think you’ll find some exciting conversations happening in the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing), Post-Production Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/post_production), and even the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing), where a lot of creatives discuss collaboration at every stage of production. They’re also great places for you to share wisdom and insights based on your experiences.
As Maurice mentioned, tomorrow, May 30th, I’m hosting a FREE Stage 32 Community Open House webcast designed to help new members get the most out of the platform and its resources. If you can’t make the live session, it will be available on-demand to all who register. You can sign up here:

Thrilled to welcome you to the community, and I hope to see your voice and vision become part of the conversations here!
