40. Kidscreen Conversations 2023: Tom Bancroft, Dylan Edwards & Rich Dickerson

This week's episode is a bit of a departure from our regular format, as I chat with 3 people from Kidscreen Summit in Miami and share some of my own thoughts.

First up is Tom Bancroft, a well-known and very accomplished animator who worked at Disney for many years and recently started his own studio, Pencillish. Tom was visiting Kidscreen for the first time, so it was a great opportunity to sit down and chat.

I then spoke with Dylan Edwards from Copernicus Studios in Canada about the journey of the show they're just beginning production on but which had a 10-year development cycle.

And finally, I spoke with Rich Dickerson, an Emmy Award-winning composer who has been part of this podcast from the beginning as he created the music for our theme. It was great to sit down and chat with Rich about his journey.

We would love to hear your feedback on this episode so please get in touch.
