Toss out your model sheets and pack up your prejudices; the real party is on the fringe, not at the box office. Off-Model covers what's new, unusual, and decidedly off the beaten path from mainstream animation. Whether it be in the fine art realm, in technology, education, or hybrid media, Off-Model wants to bring the innovative to the forefront, and open a larger discussion about animation's place in the cinematic and art worlds outside our carefully guarded clubhouse. Here you'll find hidden gems, uncovered artifacts, and less archaeological current coverage of the people, ideas, and projects that are pushing our industry forward. It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan, a film student, or a seasoned professional. If you seek inspiration in the avant-garde, if you get a thrill from pushing the limits, if you idolize the risk-takers, and wish there were more, this rallying point is the place for you.Zoe Chevat is an animator, graphic artist, and writer based in Los Angeles. She is a graduate of the Masters in Experimental Animation program at CalArts, and anticipates explaining what the 'experimental' part of that means for the rest of her career, with pleasure.
