Last week were published the names of the industry players invited to join the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences as new members for 2021. And among the 395 lucky individuals, 39 have been invited to join the « Short Films and Feature Animation » branch (which strangely enough still consists of a single category for two sides of the industry that are both becoming more and more important each day).
Shortrade managed to identify more clearly in which area (short films or feature animation) these persons are involved with, what are their role and, when it is relevant, among which company. Here is the detailed list:
