November 2022 'Who's That Girl?'

It feels great to be on a run of getting bigger with people coming from ever further to take part. It seemed like you all had fun, even if I couldn’t hear or see most of it from inside my easel.

We had FOUR headline guests filming a live She Drew That podcast. Katie Menzies (1/2 of Cabeza Patata), Eva Münnich, Angie Phillips (Arc Studio) and Hannah Lau-Walker talked about their work, experiences, and SDT’s 3 main focuses: Support, Development and Promotion of women in animation.

Starting as a monthly meet up, She Drew That runs initiatives that support, develop and promote women in animation. Workshops, interviews, mentoring, residencies & animation challenges. All designed to demystify the industry, build skills, and access jobs. Find out more at: shedrewthat.com

Thanks to Bigtooth Studios for filming and Robbie King for being on the buttons.

August 2022 'Rearrange'

This was our biggest yet and had a heap of chaotic energy from the early days. Part of the charm… for some. This was also the first time we had a majority of female animators showing work. Hopefully a start to getting the balance right.

As prizes, we had rearrangeable action figures courtesy of Ollie Jones, and some Cyriak designed slide puzzles.

Cyriak Harris was our main guest… eventually. We churned through his incredible career, from his first hits on YouTube, music video commissions and recent projects. It was a particular treat to see the animations on a big screen, getting baffled by the magic tricks that he performs with After Effects.

May 2022 'Springy'

We were back where it all started 3 years ago at Flatpack Festival's Hub in the Custard Factory.

The night was a testament to how much the community has built up in that time. The night was fully booked, ram-packed with talent, and the atmosphere was buzzing. Or maybe that was just everybody's relief that Louis survived his homemade pogo stick legs.

Writer and animator, Harriet Gillian was our main guest. She talked through her and Hannah Jacobs' BFI Network funded film, 'Your Mountain Is Waiting', the world of freelance, and being in an animation power couple with Matt Partridge.
