Festivals, Ferocity, and Forging New Paths with Kaho Yoshida | May 26, 2025

Season 9 · Episode 20

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 • Duration 45:58

In this episode of Monday Meeting, host Kendall Hotchkiss speaks with Kaho Yoshida, an award-winning director and animator with a special passion for stop motion and mixed media animation, based in Vancouver and represented by Jelly.

This episode includes:

* Kaho's experience working with representation through Jelly, including how the relationship formed and the benefits of having agency support as a woman of color in the industry

* The creation of her acclaimed personal short film "Tongue," inspired by her experience as an immigrant Asian woman in Canada and her complicated relationship with language and identity

* Her approach to mixed media animation, combining stop motion elements (like plasticine tongues and resin saliva) with 2D cell animation for both creative and practical reasons

* The challenge of self-funding personal projects while balancing commercial work, and how "Tongue" led to festival recognition including 25+ festival selections

* Her recent work on a YouTube Doodle featuring origami animation, and how personal projects help artists get noticed for commercial opportunities

* Insights into client education around stop motion production, the importance of detailed pre-production, and managing expectations around revisions

* Her talk at Playground Festival about overcoming imposter syndrome by exploring the question "Why me?" with curiosity rather than self-doubt

* The value of finding supportive communities like Panimation for underrepresented voices in animation

* Advice for aspiring animators: "Make something that you want to get paid to make, because people don't know that you can make that thing unless you make it"

HEADS UP! Monday Meetings will be taking a hiatus for the month of June and returning in July. We'll see you when we get back for SEASON 10!
