Are you sitting comfortably? 🍿

Tonight, #IndieAnimation is in the spotlight once again.

In just over 30 minutes, we'll witness the return of Dana Terrace (The Owl House) and the debut of a great indie crew with the powerhouse that is GLITCH.

Sit tight - updates all night! #SupportIndieAnimation

Today, it isn't an #IndieAnimation. It's an important insight into why it costs, and why projects need as much support as they can get.

Fans, even creators, you are HIGHLY recommended to watch this to understand why #SupportIndieAnimation is much more than just a Hashtag. πŸ‘‡(1/2)
