PART 1: In this video, we sit down with Scavengers Reign co-writer/executive producer Sean Buckelew as he shares his unique approach to writing scripts for animation. Sean draws inspiration from thought-provoking and controversial topics, particularly the implications of AI and technology in our lives.

Join us as we break down his animated short films: Drone, I Am A Robot, and Lovestreams. Each film serves as a lens through which we explore the intersection of technology and storytelling. Whether you're a budding screenwriter or an animation enthusiast, Sean's insights will inspire you to think critically about the narratives we create.

Sean Buckelew is an award-winning animator, writer, and director. He holds an MFA in Experimental Animation from the California Institute of the Arts and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2019, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Sean is a founding partner at Green Street Pictures, an independent animation studio based in Los Angeles, California.

He has since transitioned into writing for animated TV shows, including HBO Max's Scavengers Reign and the upcoming Adult Swim series Common Side Effects.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about writing for animation and effectively addressing complex themes in your scripts.
