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.

    February 2022 'Satisfying'

      Our biggest event yet, featuring, special guest Laurie Rowan, live music and brainwave visualisations from Rosa Francesca, a groan tube recital from Tat Vision, and Louis in a bubblewrap suit.


      This event had more of a behind-the-scenes-y vibe than usual. It was all very satisfying.


      Rosa Francesca’s performance was hypnotic, using a hacked meditation headset to show a visualisation of her brainwaves. It was powerful to see the audience glancing between Rosa and her brainwaves in unison, figuring out the relationship between Rosa's actions, emotions, and what was happening on screen.


      Our special guest, Laurie Rowan, showed us the journey of finding his style, the progression to directing, and the art of constantly trying new experiments.

      Thanks to Second Home Studios' Amanda Haas for the incredible trophies, Max Priddy for being on the buttons, and BFI Network for the continuing support.

      November 2021 'Fall'

        We had animators falling into a pile of leaves in order to win a Dorcha LP and Mr Egg badge. Louis dressed like a suave acorn too.


        Our guests, Remus and Kiki, were funny, insightful, and got the room buzzing. How a couple graft that hard and closely while not killing each other is a lesson in symbiosis.

        Dorcha mixed their beautiful music with visuals by artists including Black Peppa, Shiyi Li and Brid Rose (How was that Brid’s first animation?!).

        Thanks to Max Priddy for being on the buttons, RoguePlay for the crash mats, I Choose Birmingham for the badges, and BFI Network for the continuing support.
