Foundry invites you to their event

Finding hope and inspiration through creativity: lessons from lockdowns

About this event

Join Foundry for an inspiring conversation with three creatives about their pursuit of passion projects while being faced with limited resources, demanding schedules and a global pandemic. Together, the speakers will share what they’ve learned along the way, give advice on how to bring an independent project to fruition and answer questions from the audience.

Guest speakers will include:

  • Adam Coggin - VFX Supervisor of Azureus, a short, animated, streaming series created by a group of volunteers.
  • Kofi Opoku-Ansah - Founder of The VFX Artists Podcast, featuring informative and inspirational interviews with different types of artists with the hope of inspiring and educating the next generation.
  • Juli Tagger - Animation Director of Caso #100 * The Lockdown Short Film. The animated, dramatic comedy is based on real WhatsApp audios sent in the first week of quarantine during March 2020.
