Native American Animation Program

In 2019, the LA Skins Fest launched the Native American Animation Lab and Native American Youth Animation Workshop. In partnership with several studios, networks and tribes, the animation program is a multi-day intensive that provides creative development for Native Americans seeking professional and educational opportunities in the field of animation. Due to the success of our organization’s writers labs and our youth multimedia workshops, we have been able to create new avenues  for Native Americans in the industry. These are intensive workshops for Native American writers and artists who want to explore careers in animation.

Filmmakers, writers and artists are accepted into these programs and receive unique guidance on developing their animation acumen. The overall goal is that the participants garner the skills necessary to obtain employment in film, television and media.
