We’re excited to introduce Luchadores, an animation internship and mentorship program for creative students interested in illustration, animation, and visual storytelling. Inspired by Lucha Libre and Día de los Muertos, this short-term program invites a small group of interns to collaborate on an original animated short while learning professional animation workflows.
Participants will design their own luchador characters, contribute to storyboards and animation, and gain hands-on experience in digital art and storytelling. Interns will be credited in the final film, which will premiere publicly in 2026–2027.
