She Drew That Podcast

We recorded this episode in anticipation of the London International Animation Festival programme ‘Figures in Focus’ devised by Abigail Addison in recognition of the under-representation of female and non-binary animators and their stories within the independent animation sector.

The panel was made up of Abigail Addison, Jessica Ashman, Efa Blosse-Mason, Silvana Roth and hosted by Hannah Lau-Walker. During this episode, we find out how ‘Figures in Focus’ was conceived and the experience of making short independent films by the filmmakers showcased in this year's programme.

Recorded October 2024

This episode was recorded at the Royal College of Art back in August this summer. The panel was made of Abigail Addison, Sue Loughlin, Emily Jordon-Wilson, Emma Calder, and Stephen McNally who we spoke with after an Industry Day with the 2023 RCA Animation MA students.

We kicked off the panel talking about first jobs and how they led our panellists to what they do today. We also spoke about entering the industry and film festivals, we think this episode is the perfect listen for anyone who’s recently graduated and not sure what the next steps are as well as those still studying and looking to prepare for life after education.

We’d like to thank Carla MacKinnon for inviting us to the RCA and to all the students who shared their work, it was incredible to see such wonderful new talent about too enter the industry.

Our last episode in season one of the ‘She Drew That Podcast’ is a discussion of our 2022 Salary Report. We sat down with five incredible women from the industry about our salary report, its findings and our recommendations.

Listen to them unpack the Animation & VFX rates guidance card, discuss what’s happening with rates in the industry right now and hear some brilliant advice.
