Hillsboro-based LAIKA is considered the most ambitious, innovative stop-motion studio in the world.  LAIKA supports an awe-inspiring collection of creative talent from the region -- and across the globe.  Many artists have traveled thousands of miles to contribute their unique skills that have garnered the studio an Oscar and three additional nominations.  Join us for this panel where four LAIKA employees will address their careers, the craft, early artistic influences -- and their journey to Oregon.  The panel will be moderated by Pacific Northwest native Mark Shapiro.
