For Trans Day of Remembrance, we mourn for the lives of trans adults, youth, and children who have been tragically lost or threatened by hateful policies. A world without trans people has never existed and will never exist.

Choosing to start an animation studio with a cooperative model feels like a step in the right direction: honouring the long struggle of animation workers and making capital serve labour.

The worker co-op model can be applied to any sector and industry.
Consumer Co-Ops combine their purchasing power to buy goods and services.

We choose Co-Ops because they are controlled democratically and because they reinvest in local communities. In traditional corporations, workers serve the interests of capital. In a worker co-op, funds serve the interests of the workers.

What is a Co-Op? ★ A co-operative organization is owned by its members, who share similar economic, cultural and/or social needs. Businesses with co-operative models are owned and democratically controlled by their owners, who are often workers.

With this challenge solved, Karla, Chayadol, & Dennis could tackle the project without feeling squeezed for time allowing them to focus on making it look beautiful, which it does! Karla's character models & notes are included. Next we'll share the #animatic and some of the early #animation.

Here is a little more about our very first job, a project for @iatsecanada.bsky.social & @cag938.bsky.social ❤️ @internetkarla.bsky.social recalls: "Because the deadline was tight, as director & art director I needed a plan! I opted for doodly characters and BGs that changed around the frame."

Our co-op began in 2023 when @iatsecanada.bsky.social & @cag938.bsky.social wished to help #animation workers learn about unionizing. Our founding members @internetkarla.bsky.social, Chayadol Lomtong, & Dennis Levesque took on the job and crafted the short "An Animation Union at Your Studio." 1/2
