Dave Pimentel

Bonds Formed Through Animation

Join a heartfelt conversation among friends as they reflect on their journeys in animation. Tony Siruno, Joe Moshier, Dave Pimentel, Jeff Ranjo, and Mike Wu all started in animation around the same time and attended Calarts. Together, they worked at Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks Animation Studios. Armand Baltazar and Tony Siruno also became friends while working at Dreamworks. Over the years, they all become acquainted through various studio networks, crossing paths multiple times.

No one could have predicted the journey that lay ahead. Through the ebb and flow of animation and production, moments of collaboration have led to camaraderie, kinship, and lasting friendship.

SketchCrawl

The annual tradition returns!

Join Director Dave Pimentel and Story Artist Nick Sung for a SketchCrawl—a casual, public gathering to draw from life, slow down, and connect with friends from across the industry and around the world.

Founded in 2004 by Director Enrico Casarosa, SketchCrawl began as a celebration of the places we find ourselves and the people we find ourselves with—a spirit we’re proud to carry forward today.

Dust off your sketchbook and come draw with us!
