Join writer & show creator Matt Braly (Amphibia) in a casual & humorous examination of his 15+ year career in animation. The ups, the downs, and most importantly: the pivots. Working in a creative industry means things don’t always go according to plan. Hopefully this presentation will give Lightbox goers some tips and tricks when it comes to accepting unforeseen (and often frustrating) circumstances in a way that leaves your creative spark not only intact, but stronger than ever.
