Like other animation events, Cartoon Springboard will be online this year. Sarah and her team will be pitching to industry delegates, including producers, broadcasters and sales agents, seeking ways to capitalise on Jerich0's festival success.
About Cartoon Springboard
Cartoon Springboard is an annual pitching event aimed at helping rising talent break into the industry. At Cartoon Springboard, graduates of European animation schools pitch their project in front of a panel of experts from the animation industry.
Animation Production Days ("APD")
Earlier this year, Jerich0 was pitched to industry delegates at Animation Production Days in Stuttgart, Germany - though the event was moved online. Like Cartoon Springboard, APD offers opportunities for animation graduates to pitch their ideas to producers, financiers and sales agents - the people who can bring original animation content to the market. Jerich0 began life as an award-winning short film but now has the potential to be something much bigger, potentially reaching a wider audience.

About Jerich0
Jerich0 is a short film about a lonely robot who builds a friend. It was directed by Sarah Andrews and completed by our third year undergraduate animation students as part of PR6001, a studio project in which students collaborate to create a short film. Awards
Jerich0 has won multiple awards; it won Best Animation at the Melrose Film Festival in Orlando, Florida, was shortlisted for a student BAFTA, and won Best Animation and Best VFX at the 2019 Nexus Film Festival. Jerich0 also won an award in the 2019 Zero Budget Film Festival, was selected for the BFI London Film Festival, and won "Best Animation" at the Golden Nugget Film Festival.
Creative Content
Learning how to create fresh content and then pitch it is one of the key skills that all our students at Escape Studios must learn. TV Animation is in the midst of a great expansion, with many new networks and digital platforms competing for creative content. For our students with fresh ideas for a TV series in their heads, there are now many places to pitch original content.
Cartoon Movie and Cartoon Forum
Cartoon Movie and Cartoon Forum will also take applications later this year, with Cartoon Forum taking place in September 2021, and Cartoon Movie happening in March 2021.
