introduction: Caitlin Bourbonnais

Bio: Caitlin Bourbonnais was raised on a farm with other forms of livestock, and trained to read, write, draw and sing. Upon leaving the farm, she worked in many Ottawa restaurants, cooking the very friends she had left behind years ago. The terrible discovery of this fact led her to back to Algonquin College to learn the art of animation. She enjoys fresh carrots and grapes, but please do not feed directly from your hand.

Synopsis: What the Duck? Pt I

The first installment in a series. Our main character – Barkington Fitzroy – is introduced alongside some easily scared costars, and we are given a small window into a truly tortured soul.

Caitlin can be found online here.

Introduction: Brittany Whittington

BIO: Brittany Whittington is a recent grad of the Algonquin College animation program. She has been known to moonlight as an arch-nemesis for hire, but had to stop due to a sudden outbreak of superstitious driven cowardism. Will work for rocket boots.

Brittany is working with Tabitha Lambert and Christina Chin on: A Gritty Western

Including her grad film, which was part of a larger film, done kinda jam-style.

Introduction: Rebecca David

Bio: A survivor of the Traditional Animation program at Algonquin College, Rebecca hopes to animate in the industry and learn as much as she can so she can make real cartoons someday.

Synopsis: A troubled boy finds help and comfort in his imaginary friend.
