NW Animation Fest Spotlight Program: Hinge Digital @ Hollywood Theatre
May 23 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

NW Animation Fest Action:

HINGE is the Portland animation studio that created Adult Swim’s thrilling “Toonami Intruder II”, a hilarious series of “Snow Knows” shorts inspired by Game of Thrones, the much-lauded tourism promotion titled “Travel Oregon: The Game”, and many familiar national-level TV advertisements. Get a rare peek behind the scenes and learn how the HINGE team makes their magic!

Immediately following the HINGE presentation and Q&A, conversation continues at “Join the Animation Tribe” — a free networking party directly across the street at The Magnolia wine bar. Whether you’re an industry veteran, a freelancer just finding your feet, or only arrived in Portland yesterday, show up to schmooze with friends, both old and new.
