S06E09: Rick Mischel: Empowering Creative Talent
Rick Mischel’s journey took him from the electric buzz of
Broadway in New York to the sunny embrace of South Florida and
now as Founder and CEO of Artists Animation Studio, to
Kelowna, BC.
His early days as a Club Med kids' club counselor and a number
of other unexpected roles laid the foundation for an
extraordinary path through the entertainment realm, a journey
that brought him to Vancouver for a tenure at Rainmaker
Studios, where he faced the daunting challenge of steering the
company away from the brink of disaster. He shares the bold
decisions, the difficult layoffs, and the personal sacrifices
made to keep the dream alive. It's a tale of resilience and
leadership, where transparency and respect become the
keystones of a remarkable recovery.
His career in the boardrooms of Technicolor and Sony Pictures
ImageWorks, and his pivotal role in the animation renaissance
at Bardell have all led to this latest challenge: the
formation of Artists Animation Studio where Rick looks forward
to continuing a legacy of fostering a culture of creativity
and innovation.
