We're delighted to introduce the talented team behind our inaugural production program, designed to equip emerging Asian animation talent with the skills and experience needed to thrive in the professional animation industry.

PRODUCTION PROGRAM PRODUCER:

​KATIE DIZON is a Managing Director at AIA and oversees the team creating the program. Katie brings her expertise as a Nickelodeon Production Assistant, fueled by a passion for heartfelt, relatable stories, along with a commitment to highlighting diverse representation in animation.

PRODUCTION PROGRAM COORDINATORS:

PRAJAKTA MORE is a Community Events Assistant at AIA, as well as a CG Artist specializing in Environment Look Development and Lighting. Originally from India, Prajakta draws inspiration from its diverse history, culture, films, and mythological stories to fuel her creativity.

THERESA KAO currently works as an Indie Game Development Artist and takes lead on character design and concept art for a few projects in development. Theresa aspires to be a storyboard artist who tells horror stories with a grown up target audience one day.
