Teaching animation in Kaua'i!

I am enjoying the last couple days we have here in gooooorrrrgeous Kaua'i, Hawaii, but I thought I would post a few pics of my experiences teaching a few animation workshops with my newfound pal, Andrew Marshel! We met out here in Kaua'i for the LA Intl Children's Film Fest, as both of our films were screening there.

We had a BLAST teaching the 7 different workshops over the festival weekend, but the best part was seeing how excitedly all the kids responded. It makes everything SO worth it!













More updates to come.
Muhalo!
