Nouns Fest 2024 Recap ⌐◨-◨
Where animation is unhinged, always.

🍿 It’s more than just a festival—it’s a playground for boundary-pushing animation and the future of independent storytelling.

🍿 From claymation to puppetry, to experimental mixed media, Nouns Fest challenges creators to dream bigger and weirder, all while weaving in the quirky essence of Nouns NFTs.

🍿 This multi-day festival in Downtown LA brought together over 600 attendees to experience 50 original animated shorts funded by a $1M+ grant pool.
