New York Women in Film and Television cordially invites ASIFA-East members to their latest event, Women in Animation: The Business of Creativity.  The panel discussion will include Deena Beck, Assistant Animator at Titmouse, Ginger Brown, Vice President of Children’s Media at Curious Pictures, Candy Kugel, co-founder of Buzzco Associates, Bernadine Santistevan, Writer, Producer and Director of Wolf Dog Tales, and Heather Shepherd, Artist, Modeler, and CG Designer.

They’ll share their experiences creating and distributing films, pitching stories and being on the receiving end of a pitch.

The forum will also cover the broader challenges for women in the industry and explore the models that better cultivate and draw on the talents of women as film artists, producers and executives.

The panelists will also discuss how gender equality in the media is the new social movement trending in animation. With limited female characters in film, how are the animated characters depicted and how does this influence young girls and boys?
