Come and talk live with George Krstic, who brought you shows such as, MTV Down Town and Megas XLR. He’s currently working on Star Wars the Clone Wars and new series called The Five Killers for anime studio GONZO with comic writer Mark Waid.

In this presentation, you'll learn:
* what a "day in the life" is like for a professional in the industry
* how to prepare for a career in cartoons
* pros and cons of working in the industry
* And much more!

Since we expect a large turnout, attendees will be asked to stay on mute so that everyone can hear the speakers. Please send any questions you would like asked to George to jgoldsack@aii.edu

Born in a small Midwestern town, Krstic traveled the world following the visions jammed into his head by the likes of Ray Bradbury, George Lucas, and Stan Lee. Eventually making his way to New York City, Krstic attended the prestigious School of Visual Arts.
During his time at SVA, Krstic wrote and directed The Last Actor, a sci-fi film about a Shakespearean troupe’s final performance. Winning the coveted CINE Golden Eagle, The Last Actor went on to win over a dozen more awards worldwide.

Honing his craft, Krstic spent the next few years on the sets of indie movies and television series while pulling double-duty as a writer and editor of the influential cyber-culture magazine Axcess.

His first experience with television animation, MTV Downtown, where he served as story-editor and writer, yielded an Emmy nomination and allowed Krstic to pursue his own series - Megas XLR, a show that had everything he loved from his youth: robots, time-travel, aliens and over-the-top comedy.

Cartoon Network loved the idea and Krstic was given his own little sci-fi sandbox to play in - that is until he moved on to play in George Lucas’ much larger sandbox, where he currently writes on the new Clone Wars series while balancing his time between his own film, television and comic book projects.
