    2022 All audiences 64 min

    Joanna Quinn, whose acclaimed body of work includes the Oscar-nominated shorts Famous Fred, The Wife of Bath and her most recent film Affairs of the Art, speaks with Ben Mitchell of Skwigly Online Animation Magazine in an exclusive talk as part of the Linoleum Contemporary Animation and Media Art Festival. Having achieved major success at the very beginning of her career with her multi-award-winning debut film Girls Night Out, Joanna has since become an inspirational figurehead to many in the animation world through the work of her studio Beryl Productions. In this talk Joanna will offer unique insight into the highs and lows of industry success and how she has navigated the emotional pitfalls that come with it, from grappling with feelings of failure against high expectations, balancing personal projects and professional commissions, to dealing with imposter syndrome, burnout, staying motivated when life gets in the way and the challenges the younger generation face in the current social media climate and the pressures to succeed that come with it.

    Oh, little soldier, jaunting happily towards the war, you pay no heed to the red petal you carry, marking the ones who’ll fall. Such petal is the sign of the mustard yellow death that will smother you in the pestiferous, muddy trenches. Not, however, without introducing you to some of the damned that have left already, and who are waiting for you in the fields of desolation.
