“hey, I am an animation student and currently in school. I don’t have a demo reel yet though. Can I bring a scene Im working on?” 

Most definitely. Bring what you got as a quicktime and we will review it. The great thing about this event is that you can have some pizza and get to meet some awesome animators!!

“There is some confusion on the date of the event. What is the date and time?”
