Mack Garrison, founder/director of content at Dash: “The Dash Bash is an annual animation and motion design festival based here in Raleigh, North Carolina. This year we had 350 creatives in attendance for the two-day event on July 20-21.

“For the opening video, we partnered with a myriad of talented studios and artists to bring a collaborative approach to the big screen. Dash handled the creative direction of the film to provide a blue-print for the contributing studios and freelancers, and in conjunction with our internal team, everyone brought their own unique flavor to the project.”
