Intermediate Animators Production Residency

What is the Intermediate Animators Production Residency?

The Intermediate Animators Production Residency is a production-focused program offered by the Quickdraw Animation Society (or QAS) intended to assist a local animator in completing an independent animated short film, and targeted towards animators developing their practice. This is a cash award open to Calgary, AB (and area) artists of all disciplines, at intermediate to advanced stages in their careers, who use animation as a primary part of their artistic practice. Applicants must have animation experience to apply for this program.

The 2025 Intermediate Animators Production Residency (IAPR) will foster the development of an animated film through mentorship, production space, equipment and resource access, technical support, and a cash award of $8,000 to go towards artist fees and supply budget in the creation of an independent animated short film....
