The Annecy Animation Festival is massive, exciting, and—honestly—a bit overwhelming in the best way (https://programme.annecyfestival.com/programme).

In this episode, I break down how I’m choosing what to attend, from must-see pitch sessions to market meetings and creative conversations. With so much happening at once, I’m prioritizing events that align with both creative inspiration and real business opportunities. Whether you’re a filmmaker, animator, producer, or fan, there’s something here for you.

Have you been to Annecy before? Let me know your best tips—I’d love to hear them.

If you're going this year, hit me up so we can connect.

Never been but curious? Tell me what you’d want to know and I’ll include it in my post-Annecy follow-up episode!
