Ep. 088: Your Animated Life Part 3 – Marriage, Family and the Animation Production Pipeline with Cassie Soliday and Katya Bowser

Many people in our society will one day get married and have kids. But what is it like getting married and raising a family while working in the animation industry? Is that even possible? The short answer is – yes! And today on the show we’re pleased to feature Cassie Soliday, Script Coordinator at Wild Canary, and Katya Bowser, Storyboard Artist at Wild Canary, to discuss how they’ve navigated the relationship waters with their husbands and families while also pursuing their careers. 

And in part two of our podcast, Cassie and Katya explain the TV animation production pipeline and why it’s important to understand the process and your place in it.
