The Animation Project
The Made in New York Animation Project (TAP) is a non-profit therapy, education and workforce development program. Storytelling, animation and self actualization are our wheelhouse. We prepare untapped creatives for the media and animation industries through direct-service software training, career readiness mentorship, and personal development guidance. With few opportunities immersed with focused training on industry-standard programs and workforce guidance, TAP aims to help bridge the existing equity gap. In our groups, young adults produce raw, original, crowd-validated stories using the animation pipeline as their guide. TAP films feel different to watch because of the people who tell the stories and because of the therapeutic process that goes into creating them.
A story that’s never been told is the result of every group.
