Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!

Hosted by Cassie Soliday

Today’s guest is stop motion animator and producer, Eileen Kohlhepp!

Eileen has been working since the 90s on cult classics like Daria, Celebrity Deathmatch, Robot Chicken, and the list continues to grow today. Animation is already a niche corner of the Entertainment industry, but Stop Motion is an even more tight knit community! Eileen shares what it’s been like to navigate such a specific industry over the years, gives us insight on how she pivots between animating and producing, and talks about how being an animator makes her a better producer.
