The Animation Directors’ Lab is designed to empower the next generation of animation directors to compete on the world stage.
The Lab is a peer-to-peer learning event that brings experienced and upcoming directors together. The event is designed to inspire and inform the new wave of directing talent to find their unique storytelling voice and equip them with some of the skills they will need to develop their careers as directors.
Taking place over the course of 5 days at Frybrook House in Boyle, Co Roscommon, this event will offer a diverse programne comprising workshops, one-on-one mentoring sessions, and networking opportunities. Experienced animation directors will lead each workshop, outlining their creative methodologies and charting their professional progress, with a focus on their work-flows from pre-production through to production. The mentoring sessions offer direct access to experienced leaders in the animation industry. This will help participants to industry their individual creative process to advise and guide on improvement. Networking will give everyone a chance to meet others in the industry, and these connections can be invaluable as people move forward in their careers.
