The Ink and Paint Folk Podcast
TV & Film
Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today’s guest is Writer and Production Coordinator, Alyssa Harden!
Alyssa is a production coordinator at DreamWorks and freelance animation writer. She’s worked at companies like Illumination, Laika, Grayscale, and more. In our chat, she talks how saturday morning cartoons helped shape her worldview and how she finds joy in doing that for today’s kids, what it took to relocate for work, east coast to west, LA to Oregon and back again, finding romance in the puppet department, being the only artist in a family of scientists, and more.
