Two. Two. Two generations for the price of one! Sometimes a business passes from father to son when father retires and son takes over. And sometimes … there is a delightful overlap. Such is the case with Rantdog Animation Studios duo Norm and Chris Fassbender. Marv and Fred tracked down the talented twosome at the annual Banff World Media Festival. After many years spent pitching ideas at Banff, this year father Norm hands the reins to son Chris who takes the lead with the pitching. The in-house intergenerational dynamics are refereed by producer (and mother!) Kate Holowach. Mother, father and son all bring perspectives to Rantdog that are influenced by their unique life experiences. It's a complex dynamic that creates fantastic results.Don’t have a parent in the business to give and take advice? That’s what mentors are for. You might be surprised at the ways your youthful energy and approach to your craft might contribute to a veteran’s creative output.Network, Network! Network! Create your own alliances. You have more to contribute than you might think. Rantdog Animation has a bumpy barking approach that works for them. There’s yippin’ and nippin’ but the results pay off.
