Introduction to animated filmmaking
Expert guidance to help you turn your life experience into a compelling narrative
Instruction on how to communicate your story in whatever medium you feel is best: visual, auditory, written, or verbal
WINstructor: Eun Bi Chang
Eun Bi majored in Animation and VFX at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She has worked as a 2D character animator, storyboard artist, teacher, and film producer. Recently, she produced and directed the short film, “Paper City” (Madina Papel) which centers on the topic of honor-based violence that happens towards women in the Middle East. Eun Bi has always been an immigrant, an outsider. Her experiences, living in different places such as South Korea, New Zealand, and the U.S., strongly shaped how she views the world and influenced the themes of her work.
Story Muse: Rasha Hussein
Rasha is a Palestinian Software Engineer at Netflix, working on animation artist tools. She previously worked at Quora and Udacity. She made the online educational platform accessible in Arabic as part of the One Million Arab Coders initiative led by Dubai. Rasha also co-founded a co-working space in the West Bank, Palestine, that hosted tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and investors from around the Arab world. There, she organized tech events and startup weekends that facilitated startup thinking among young Palestinians. When she was a student at Birzeit University, she volunteered to tour Palestinian schools and teach kids how to use the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) laptop to learn math, reading, and coding basics.
