Tiara knew that she wanted to work in animation since she was in middle school but she thought she wanted to be an artist. She went to RISD, where she studied Animation, and then during her senior year, she met a producer for the first time and decided to switch to Production. After that, she interned at Nickelodeon and then went on to work there as a PA. Once that ended, she went to Cartoon Network, Disney TV, and Netflix. I started at Netflix as a Production Manager, then she became a Production Executive, and moved on the Education and Training team trying to bring more production training and events to the studio. Tiara is now available for work.

Matt went to film school in the middle of nowhere in PA for screenwriting, and after doing a live action internship in LA for a summer, he realized that animation is where he wanted to be. After a few years of bartending and waiting tables, he was able to move out to Burbank and get an animation internship, and then through a friend got his first production job at Bento Box on Bob's Burgers! He hasn't lost sight of his goal to write, and is invested in finding freelance animation writing jobs to tell his story and help kids through some of the challenges he faced growing up.

Happy International Women's Day! I got the opportunity to chat with THEE Karen Rupert Toliver. Trying to find Black women in senior positions of leadership has been extremely difficult. Karen is the only Black woman I know to hold the title of Creative Executive. I titled this episode "Northern Star" because though our paths are different, I do see Karen as a pioneer for women like myself who aspire for more. We spoke about how she ended up in the animation industry, the different types of creative executives, and more.

Sam has always wanted to work in the animation industry and pursued it through grade school and college. She graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a B.A. in Animation during the great housing recession, so she pivoted to a career in teaching. After teaching for about 4 years, she decided it was time to turn back to a career in animation. She got started as a PA at Dreamworks Animation TV and worked on the side to improve her CG demo reel for surfacing. After 5 years at DW, Netflix called and offered her a position in Outreach & Engagement. She decided to take the leap of faith and has never looked back!

Honestly, which other movie would be a better fit than this?!  

Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry. Via Google

Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling is a 2019 American animated web television special based on, as well as a continuation of, Joe Murray's Nickelodeon series Rocko's Modern Life. It was originally slated to premiere on Nickelodeon in 2018 as a television special, but was left unaired; in May 2019, Nickelodeon sold the distribution rights of the special to Netflix, which released the film on August 9, 2019, airing 23 years after the original series finale. - wikipedia

Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Now4KeAiys

Initial release: August 9, 2019, 45mins making it feel like a longish episode instead of a movie

Director: Joe Murray & Cosmo Serguson

Production Company: Nickelodeon Animation Studio and Yeson Entertainment, Inc. (animation services)

Plot - After Rocko's house was launched into space, Rocko, Heffer, Filburt, and Spunky have been adrift for 20 years doing nothing but watching old videos of The Fatheads episodes. Passing by Earth, Filburt realizes that the remote controlling the rocket has been stuck to Heffer's butt all along. They use the re-entry button and land back in O-Town, which they find has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. Heffer and Filburt quickly accept all the new customs and technology, but Rocko is overwhelmed and secludes himself in his house. Bev Bighead comes to welcome Rocko back to Earth; when asked by Rocko why he can't find The Fatheads on TV, she explains the show has been off the air for many years, much to Rocko's horror.

It is STILL Black History Month so I felt it was only right to talk about Black cartoon characters or the lack thereof. 

_THINGS MENTIONED_

• Is it more racist to make a Black character Black because you can or make them Black because it is a story point?
• There are more Black make character than Black female characters
• Cree Summer basically voicing all of the Black female characters
• The Boondocks as a “love letter” to Black culture
• Hair Love
• Matthew Cherry
• Everett Downing
• Book of Mojo
• Karen Rupert Toliver
• Dreaming big

_ANIMATION NEWS_

• Hair Love winning the oscar for best animated short
• Klaus winning BAFTA for best animated feature film (BAFTA is The British Academy of Film and Television Arts or BAFTA Film Awards essentially the british oscars)
