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 stop motion animator and filmmaker, Fu Yang!

Fu is a Taiwanese filmmaker. Stop-motion is her forte. She creates award-winning animated shorts both on her personal and collaborative projects. 

She brings unique handmade design and combines stop motion, traditional animation and motion graphics in her projects. She draws-- for opening up communications, finding connections with people, and revealing her thoughts on subjects that matter to her. In 2022, she reestablished an animation studio with her husband in St. Louis, MO, and works from filmmaking to teaching.

Fu interviews directors about their personal projects, tips and production processes on Nice Shorts.
