I&PF-130, Sabrina Cotugno, Director (part 1)

Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!

Hosted by Cassie Soliday

Today's guest is Director, Sabrina Cotugno!

Sabrina has been a storyboard and/or director on shows like Gravity Falls, Star vs the Forces of Evil, The Owl House, as well as had an overall deal for their own development work. But everyone has to start somewhere! And while they had internships with Pixar and Disney Feature under their belt, Sabrina still didn’t get hired right away! They share how they stayed motivated to keep moving forward, testing for shows, and finding freelance before finally breaking in. Sabrina also talks about working on their web comic, The Glass Scientists,  even when they was gainfully employed.
