June 24, 2021 - Triggerfish has announced a call for entries for a pan-African Story Artist Lab sponsored by Netflix.
The lab, which is the latest initiative from the South African animation studio, aims to develop the skills of African story artists and provide them with opportunities to work on international productions.
Nathan Stanton, a story artist on Oscar-winning features like Brave and Monsters Inc, will lead the training program, which will provide shortlisted applicants with three months of paid skills development with international industry experts.
The Story Artist Lab builds on the success of Triggerfish's Mama K's Team 4 all-female writers lab, which saw nine African women placed in the writing room for the first animated Netflix series from Africa.
