Take six promising animation filmmakers from across Canada, plant them in the NFB's English Animation Studio, give them 12 weeks to create extremely short animation from concept to release with the full support and assistance of NFB creative experts and, voilà, the NFB Animation Hothouse! This is the second session of the Animation Hothouse. Mentoring director is Janet Perlman, and the Hothouse filmmakers are Marielle Guyot, Kevin Langdale, Amy Lockhart, Thea Pratt, Megann Reid and Howie Shia.
