The onset of COVID-19 Pandemic has triggered deep deliberations regarding the future of the festival. How does this challenge impact the future of work and what then are the needs of the Caribbean in order to exist in these unique times? Following global trends, the use of virtual platforms has now become critical for the future of the industry. Out of all other creative jobs, animation and game outsourcing production pipelines are the most stable and continue to produce content and work amid the pandemic. In Trinidad and Tobago there is tangible proof of this, as Full Circle Animation Studio, Coded Arts Game Studio and Animae Caribe continued working throughout the pandemic, brining in foreign exchange and keeping staff employed.
This year Animae Caribe has come together with partners from around the region to offer a series of virtual events to empower, facilitate discussion and education with Diversity and Inclusion leading the way.
