Skwigly are proud to present the third panel from the second series of Visible In Visuals, an initiative pushing to make the animation and VFX industries more diverse and inclusive through honest, open conversation.
When the BBC are looking to close the “gender fame” gap, why are they neglecting the “gender frame gap”? Behind the scenes, women are still under-represented in senior creative roles across animation and this is even true on Female-focused commercials like the “Names will be Made” campaign for the UEFA Women's Euros.
Tanya J Scott speaks to Directors Hannah Lau-Walker and Neeraja Raj, as well as Producer Amy Ashton about why are we still failing to see female talent leading large commercials in UK animation.
This episode was sparked by the “Women on Screen, Men in Charge” article by Neeraja, which you can read here: https://www.skwigly.co.uk/women-on-screen-men-in-charge-the-industrys-open-secret/

Skwigly presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring featuring Luzie Lilie in conversation with May Kindred-Boothby, director of the RCA short film 'The Eating of an Orange'.
A director, animator and writer based in Bristol, May Kindred-Boothby has worked freelance within animation for around 9 years. Her work focuses on surreal explorations of sexuality and convention, told through a colourful and painterly hand drawn style. 'The Eating of an Orange' is her first directorial short and is currently doing the festival rounds, having recently screened as part of the prestigious Annecy festival with upcoming screenings including INBETWEENS, a celebration of contemporary queer animation taking place July 8th at Bristol's Cube Microplex in association with Bristol Animation Meetup (BAM) and the returning Encounters Film Festival.

In a large manor house, identical figures eat the same, move the same, look the same. But everything will change for one woman when she gets given an orange by an unknown figure. She has never seen an orange. In the exploration of this new and exciting discovery, she gets transported into another realm of lichens, slugs and sensuous fluidity. But how can she balance this with the world she knows? She must make a choice: abandon her discovery, or step forwards into a new way of being.
INBETWEENS will also screen 5pm August 23rd at Cardiff's Chapter Arts Centre in association with Skwigly and Cardiff Animation Fesitval. Tickets available soon at https://www.chapter.org/
