In today’s animation landscape, many of the most exciting careers aren’t defined by a single job title — they’re shaped by multiple passions, skills, and creative identities. Whether you write, compose, animate, perform, or bridge several of these roles, being “multihyphenate” can be a powerful way to future-proof your creative journey.

Join fellow multihyphenate creators Melissa Peters(Fifth Ground Entertainment), Skye R. Regan(Play All Day Productions), Aaron Long(Aaron Long Cartoons), Lorna Witherington(Gigglebug Entertainment), and James Boyd(Bedtracks) in a session that celebrates the creative curiosity that drives artists to wear many hats — and shows how embracing breadth can enrich depth, expand opportunity, and spark unexpected collaborations.


This panel will be moderated by TAAFI’s very own programming coordinator, Fay Caretta Pearse!
