I&PG-113, Fadia Alhallak, Storyboard Artist

Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast- a look at animation through the women who make it!

Hosted by Cassie Soliday

 

This week is all about the writers and artists of the Amazon series “PETE THE CAT” produced at Surfer Jack.

Today’s guest is storyboard artist, Fadia Alhallak!

 

Fadia’s journey has taken her from being a child of war in Syria to an animation professional in America. She shares how having survivor’s guilt from the war torn area inspired her emotional college thesis film, Jasmine, and she continues to carry the weight of the people she wants to give a voice to. While she’s at the start of her career, she is proud to have made it this far! In our conversation, we discuss why quitting was never an option, how she adapted along the way, how every experience- success or failure- leads you to becoming a stronger person-- they don’t call it growing pains for nothing.
