The Animation Pilot Showcase spotlights six bold creators presenting proof-of-concept projects for animated features and series. Each filmmaker will have 8 minutes to share their world, tone, audience positioning, and development vision — giving industry decision-makers a focused look at the next wave of original animation.

Designed for both industry attendees seeking the next big IP or potential co-production opportunities, and creators and students in search of opportunities to witness real-world pitching in action– this showcase is fast-paced, idea-driven, and built for connection. The next great animated property might start here!

Featuring: Pearl Low (Wheels & Roses), Meridian Culpepper (Anthologies), Al K. Teng (Hotblood!), Noushin Emami (Carpet Weavers), Emily Brundige (Strawberry Vampire), and Denver Jackson (Kade and The Lampkeeper)
