2025 Scatterbrain Screenings

When/where: May 18th, Raleigh NC.

What: An animation screening for North Carolina animators of Asian and Pacific Islander descent.

Rating: 5/5

Website: https://www.instagram.com/scatterbrainscreenings

Income: ~$100 for 30 minutes of tabling

Expenses: Free for artists and attendees! They gave the animators a stipend for the screening.

Provided: A 6ft table, the opportunity to show our cartoons and ask each other about our art, and cake.

• A small, cozy event in a cool area, in the Raleigh United Mutual Aid Hub. Everyone who attended was interested in arts and community! I feel like almost everyone who attended got something.
• Not a traditional “vending” set-up cuz the main event was watching our films. But I got to set up a quickie booth with zines (including the fresh ones I printed showing my concept art for the film) and stickers flat on the table, and talk about my art for 30 minutes after the screening.

  • I like not spending my whole day at a table. I like just chatting with people and if they happen to get a sticker or comic that's cool too.
  • The hosts were really cool and nice. They talked to each person as individuals with unique backgrounds, rather than just bodies to fill the space.
  • Got to watch cartoons! The amount we made probably covered the gas needed to get there so it was just a cool hang out n check out art night.

  Cons:
• It's 2.5 hours away from where I live
• Speakers had a little technical issue, just took 5 minutes to fix :P

Yes!
