S05E01: Nora Twomey — Magic Maker

Sometimes being a studio founder means doing the work no one else wants to do: from cleaning toilets to finding the work that keeps the studio lights on. While it's been some time since Cartoon Saloon co-founder Nora Twomey, had to clean a toilet, she’s not below doing what needs to be done to stay creative and independent. We had the opportunity to speak with Nora about her early love for drawing and animation, the ups and downs of running a studio, how she stays creative, as well as her latest feature film My Father's Dragon, a beautiful adaptation of Ruth Stiles Gannett's award-winning children's book.
