Meet the Trainer:
Jubilanté Cutting is an international intellectual property lawyer by practice and Animation Producer at GAN Studios. Her work in animation production emerged from her deep research on the animation industry together with key global and regional animation industry leaders. Realizing the lack of Guyanese and Caribbean stories on popular mainstream platforms, Jubilanté embarked on a mission to bring more unique Guyanese and Caribbean stories to screen.

Through GAN Studios, an innovation of the Guyana Animation Network (GAN) Inc., both of which Cutting launched and founded, she works with local and global artists, voice actors, creators , consultants, sound/ music and animation professionals to produce artistic and audio visual stories that engage, entertain and educate.

With some animated works rumored to be in development, Jubilanté enjoys creating creative collaborations across borders to produce content. This was first evident in Cutting's first experience in animation production when she co-led a team of regional creators to produce three short animated films funded and showcased by the Animae Caribe Film & Digital Media Festival in Trinidad in 2017. Of the three shorts, Cutting particularly contributed to production and team management for 'The Ol' Higue', a collaboration of SAGA Networks and 'Project Mimas'.
