 Under The Onion Skin is a podcast that peels back the layers of animated short films to reveal the heart and soul of the filmmaking process.

Through informal interviews, we get to know the behind-the-scenes and personal side of animation from the perspective of the director. We talk about processes, takeaways, struggles, and achievements in a comfortable, playful, and light-hearted way.
The podcast is dedicated to passionate people and students interested in the artistic and niche world of animation. Whether you are an animation enthusiast or an aspiring filmmaker, you'll find valuable insights and inspiration.

Join us as we journey to animation festivals all around the world (atm especially in Europe), where we gather to show years of hard work and collect inspiration.
