    Andrew Chesworth - BONUS Throwback Interview!

    2026/1/08 | 1h 52 mins.

    On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 191 from January 2019 featuring animator and animated filmmaker Andrew Chesworth, who talked about working at Disney and making his latest short film. I thought this was a good match for our episode with Miguel Rodrick from Monday because they are both animated filmmakers, working on very different spectrums of filmmaking. After that we play another round of You’re the expert, enjoy!
