Hi AnneMarie
I have always been interested in seeing if there was an industry for Animation and other Digital Arts within the Caribbean. It is excellent to read about this event!
I am from the UK, Been to Jamaica once as my Father is from there. I work as a Graphic/ web designer / animator over here but I have always wanted to explore this industry in other countries. I have recently had my eye on exploring South America and the caribbean for this purpose.
Please keep me up to date/ in touch with any more events or news happening in this particular industry area.
Many thanks
Mark Allen
