In today’s episode independent animator Anthony Gardea shares how his love for storytelling and animation inspired him and his wife Becky Gill to create the independent production company Nominous Animation. Together with a team of animators, designers and voice artists they are now embarking on creating the animated film World Destroyer. In this interview Anthony discusses art school, freelance jobs, leaving LA, the highs and lows of your work going viral and being willing to adapt as you create your own stories. For anyone who has ever wanted to branch outside of the studio system and create their own films, this episode is for you!
