Festivus is Back Thursday 11 June in London

Festivus is back in London on Thursday 11th June from 6pm at the Betjeman Arms on the Euston Road, N1C 4QL. 

London's regular animation networking event is an opportunity for our students and recent graduates to get to know people in the animation industry, find out who is hiring, and where the jobs are. 

Festivus is all about meeting people in our industry, networking, and - of course - enjoying a drink with friends.

Festivus is an opportunity to meet people from animation studios in the UK and overseas, see what job opportunities there are, and maybe even get some showreel feedback.

Festivus Podcast with Alex Williams

Festivus has released a podcast interview with me recorded at the end of last year. Julian Scott from Film London did the interview, which you can listen to above.  The interview is part of a series in which Festivus explores careers in animation, how people in our industry have developed their careers, often through slightly circuitous routes.
