Austin School of Film

There’s a difference between learning animation from a textbook and learning it from people who actually live this craft. This summer, our HS Animation campers get the real thing.

In addition to hands-on instruction and mentorship with industry animator Matthew Hemenway, students take part in our Meet the Artists series, where we curate professionals in the field making important work to talk about both their career AND their practice.
