Join CCA Animation, Game Arts + Design, & Friends to celebrate our community and welcome the new semester! Arrive early for pizza and stay for a special performance by local animation artist Jeremy Rourke.

Jeremy Rourke is a stop motion animator, performer and educator based in San Francisco, CA. After stitching together his first animated second (12 frames) in 2009, this meticulous, handmade, beautiful, and uncanny medium became home. He creates multimedia performances where, guitar in hand, he sings his projected animations into being. His commissioned work with documentary filmmakers has screened at festivals including Sundance and Frameline, and has been nominated for an Academy Award. As an educator, he has shared his knowledge and enthusiasm for the art of animation at UC Davis, Saint Mary’s College, SF State, Shapeshifters Cinema, CASA (children’s after school arts) and California College of the Arts.
