    Episode 5 - Bunnicula Creator Jessica Borutski

    Jessica Borutski began her animation career between Ottawa and Halifax, making the leap to Los Angeles when Warner Brothers came calling. After redesigning the Looney Tunes, she began directing, producing, and writing her own series, Bunnicula, which is now loved by millions of kids and parents alike. In this conversation with Copernicus Studios’ Head of Development Dylan Edwards and AFX Artistic Director Siloën Daley, Borutski reflects on the challenges of creative work within industry parameters.
