S02E07: Denver Jackson — The One-Man Animation Studio

Denver Jackson has always wanted to be a storyteller. In 2012, he began his journey by creating a 9-minute short film titled Cloudrise. Nine years later, Cloudrise is an independent studio, and Denver has made three short films, a webseries, and now an upcoming feature film titled Esluna: The Crown of Babylon. We recently spoke with Denver about his creative process, working as a solo animator, and how he overcame the challenges of making a feature film on his own.
