48 Hour Challenge!! THE BEGINNING IS THE END IS THE BEGINNING edition
May 20th – 23rd – Animation Lockdown!
May 26nd – Lockdown Screening at EMMEDIA. 7:00PM, free and open to the public

This May long weekend, teams of 1 – 3 are invited to gather at Quickdraw to eat food, think wildly, get sloppy, and make animations. You will have 48 hours, studio space, equipment, a technician on hand, and yes, unlimited foodstuffs and caffeine. Everyone is welcome, and no experience is necessary. The animations are screened 3 days later at a sweet party that includes RAD PRIZES!

In light of Quickdraw’s imminent move to a new space, this year’s theme is THE BEGINNING IS THE END IS THE BEGINNING. This year we encourage you to explore endings that are non endings: loops, cycles, phases, loop-weaves, transformations, and cyclical narratives.

Here are some examples if you’re in need of inspiration:

No previous experience necessary! Finished animations will be screened later that same week.

Sign up fee: $50 for producing members (includes food, caffeine, studio space, equipment, and technical assistance for the long weekend event) OR $100 for non members (includes year-long production membership). Fee is per person.

Register and reserve your spot today! This one fills up fast….
