S05E01: Nora Twomey — Magic Maker


Listen Later

Sometimes being a studio founder means doing the work no

one else wants to do: from cleaning toilets to finding the
work that keeps the studio lights on.

While it's been some time since Cartoon Saloon co-founder

Nora Twomey, had to clean a toilet, she’s not below doing what
needs to be done to stay creative and independent.

We had the opportunity to speak with Nora about her early

love for drawing and animation, the ups and downs of running a
studio, how she stays creative, as well as her latest feature
film My Father's Dragon, a beautiful adaptation of Ruth
Stiles Gannett's award-winning children's book.
