    009 - Busy Bee - A chat with Debora (Bee) Grandinetti

    Today's guest is one of those people who doesn't really need an introduction but I'm going to write one anyway. I'm talking about Bee Grandinetti - Brazilian director, designer, animator AND illustrator based in Stockholm. It only takes one of her animations to fall in love with her tongue in cheek style, and she's a strong promoter of equality in the industry (make sure to check the Panimation project). We had a chat with Bee and discovered where her passion for animation started and how that passion brought her to Stockholm. Grab a big cup o tea (the interview is a bit longer this time) and enjoy our chat with Bee Grandinetti! beegrandinetti.com
