The SCAD AnimationFest, recently held in-person at the Atlanta branch of the Savannah College of Art and Design, is a three-day celebration of animation where animators, directors, alumni in the industry, and executives like Parker are invited to participate in panel discussions that provide current students an in-depth look at careers they will soon embark upon.
