May 2025 Inbetweeners Animation Fellowship Gathering

We just wrapped another great Christians in Animation "InBetweeners" Gathering in Los Angeles—and it was a beautiful blend of creativity, community, and Christ-centered encouragement! Eleven artists came together over delicious California Chicken Café wraps, sharing stories, industry experiences, and faith. A highlight of the evening was artist Andy Mandy’s presentation of his in-progress design for our new Inbetweeners banner—featuring a stunning walk cycle of Jesus drawn in the style of The Prince of Egypt! We were also thrilled to welcome our youngest artist yet—10-year-old Jude—who confidently shared some of his original sketches with the group. We ended the night with heartfelt one-on-one prayer, leaving refreshed, inspired, and reminded that God is moving in the animation world.

If you’re a Christian working in animation—whether you're a veteran, a student, or somewhere in between—consider this your invitation to join us at future gatherings. Let’s build something beautiful together!
