Black Dog Films and The Kusp Present ‘Story in Motion’ Event
Black Dog Films and The Kusp present the second in a series of events for upcoming filmmakers at FOMO House, Shoreditch, exploring storytelling in animation.
Visionary illustrators, animators, and stop-motion artists Alice Bloomfield, Isabel Garrett, and Jack Zhang will share their unique approaches to storytelling, breaking down real-world projects and showing how their respective styles bridge art and film.
The trio have worked on projects for the likes of Troye Sivan, QOTSA, Rihanna’s Fenty, Beavertown, Coldplay, Amazon, and Mango.
The session will take place in two parts: a creative panel discussion, culminating in a workshop style session for panellists to feedback on some of the attendees’ ideas and work. If you’d like to submit your work for the chance to receive live feedback from the panellists during the event, please send your name, the title of your project, and a link to your project to submissions@blackdogfilms.co.uk, we will be selecting three pieces to share constructive feedback on the night.
