For three iterations and counting, the mid-career women selected for Women in Animation<\/a> Vancouver\u2019s Animation Career EXCELerator Program\u00a0 (ACE for short) use what they learn to create a short film or series pilot together in this innovative, national training program described by Founder and Co-Executive Producer Rose-Ann Tisserand as \u201ca key creative animation boot camp over two years.\u201d<\/p>

From confidence-building sessions to mentorship and training tailored to key creative roles, ACE\u2018s mission is \u201cadvancing women in animation,\u201d its website explains<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWe know that in animation schools, women outnumber men, and then we lose them before they advance in to more senior roles,\u201d says Tisserand, who will speak at the Spotlight on Canada\u2019s Women in Animation – Their Storytelling and Paths to Success<\/a> conference at this year\u2019s Mifa market in Annecy, alongside some of the program\u2019s participants and partners. \u201cIf we have more women in animation schools, it makes sense that we should have as many women art directors, animation directors, directors, etc\u2026 as our male counterparts in these key creative roles, and we don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>

In addition to various factors and barriers, such as confidence and \u201creticence to take risks,\u201d notes Tisserand, who is also Executive Producer at Flying Kraken Creative Studios and Executive Producer and Co-Creator of Puddle Jumpers<\/em> in development with Silvergate Media, \u201cadditional challenges for women can be work-life balance, being a mom or a caretaker to a parent, all while navigating a growing career. The goal of the ACE Program is to find these women who want to advance and let them know, \u2018we\u2019re going to help you get there.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Each participant applies for a specific role in the group (i.e. Writer, Producer, Director, Art Director, Storyboard Supervisor, Editor, Animation Director, Composer).<\/span><\/p>

In addition to hard skills, soft skills, and business-oriented workshops (on a slew of topics ranging from legal to Diversity and Inclusion hiring, role-playing and more), each participant has their own specific mentor for their role. A director, for example, would learn \u201cwhat to look for when calling animation notes, what\u2019s important when you\u2019re working with an art director, how to hear your voice, what is your vision, how to handle speaking to your team, how to strategize speaking to a client who possibly has a different vision,\u201d Tisserand explains.<\/span><\/p>

The program culminates with a trip to a conference or festival. \u201cWe demystify the process from script to screen, all the way to taking [a project] to market\u2026 We teach them how to pitch themselves and their creative thoughts. We give a really good cross-section of any skill we think could help them find their voice, hear their voice, and learn to trust their voice \u2013 and know it\u2019s OK to not know everything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Confidence, vulnerability, and risk-taking are also important. \u201cWhen someone is overwhelmed, we can say, \u2018We\u2019ve got you, we\u2019ve been there, here are some tools or ideas on how you might handle the situation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hearing a mentor\u2019s perspective is very helpful, she says. \u201cFirst, it helps candidates know they\u2019re not alone. We have your back, we\u2019re going to get you through this. And secondly, that it\u2019s normal! Women think they\u2019re not allowed to feel these things, and it\u2019s actually strong and important to say, \u2018I don\u2019t know the answer, I need help.\u2019\u201d<\/p>

And for potential producing partners, distributors, and the international industry, it\u2019s safe to say that a more confident, nuanced, and skilled professional benefits all stages of production and storytelling. When asked about this, Tisserand agrees: \u201cThey have their experience, they found their voice, they found their confidence, they now have that all important credit.\u201d<\/p>

Plus, \u201cCanada is fortunate enough to have an amazing pool of talented professionals who identify as women or non-binary.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

While \u201cproduction roles are the one area women do OK with,\u201d Tisserand says, \u201cwe\u2019re still trying to get women into more key creative roles, into boardrooms and as decision makers.\u201d<\/p>

As she and her colleagues examine possibilities for ACE\u2019s scalability and expansion, she\u2019s proud of what the program has achieved so far, including the incorporation of three new female-led companies, one by each ACE team.<\/p>

\u201cWe have been successful; all the women who have gone through the program have advanced, which we\u2019re very proud of. When I see a Zoom screen with up to 15 women solving FX problems or story issues, it makes my day every time!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
