Congratulations, Conrad! This is awesome!!

Conrad has earned every success. Thrilled to have him as a Stage 32 educator.

This really gets me excited to see that we are all part of the Stage 32 community of success Richard "RB" Botto

Agreed, Mark Deuce. The mission of this platform from Day One back in 2011 was to democratize the industry. Our educators play a massive part in executing on that mission.

Love this...

“At Straight Up Creative, we are departing from the misconception of animation as solely a children’s genre and see animation as a versatile medium capable of expanding the ability to tell any story, in any genre, for any audience..."

And if there was anyone to lead that charge, Leonardo Ramirez, it's Conrad. He's a visionary.

I took one of his classes a while back and it was pretty awesome, Richard "RB" Botto. It's called, "Breaking Down the Process of Feature Film Animation from Script to Screen" and for anyone interested, it can be found here: https://www.stage32.com/education?p=8944856072499. There's also a free one where he and others discuss the state of the industry here: https://www.stage32.com/education?p=8944858759475. I haven't watched that one but going to now.

He's a fantastic teacher, Leonardo Ramirez, and obviously as accomplished as they come. Also a shining example of how being selfless and a true collaborator can move mountains in this industry.
