Jam Filled Entertainment – Mentorship Project

Jam Filled Entertainment – Series & Short Development Mentorship Project

A group of CREATE students is receiving mentorship and masterclasses from Canadian studio Jam Filled Entertainment as they create an animated short.

We are so fortunate to have been a small part of the Sisler Create program. Seeing the student progression throughout this process has been very rewarding and we can’t wait to see what these students do in the future.

The future looks bright for the next generation of animation professionals from SISLER CREATE. It’s been great to have the opportunity to give them feedback on story and see them actually apply what they learn. Go SISLER!

JAMIE LECLAIRE

The Sisler Create Program is nothing short of inspiring both for the students involved as well as for us as a studio. Seeing their passion and enthusiasm for animation grow, along with the confidence, skills and fundamentals they are gaining from being a part of this program has been truly amazing to watch develop over the past few months.
