“How does a cartoon get from script to screen? How does a cartoon character come to life? And do you guys animate it first, before the actors do the voices, or is it the other way around? These are just some of the questions that will be answered at the “Archer” Q-and-A session with Floyd County Productions, the crew that animates and produces the hit show. You bring the Q’s. They’ll bring the A’s. You’ll also get to see a new episode of “Archer” because that’s why you’re really coming.

So come meet the people who help bring these characters to life. In fact, the word “animation” comes from the Latin word “animus,” which meals soul or life. Animators, by their very definition, create life. Animators are gods among us. And now, you can meet these gods yourself at this very panel – if you buy a ticket. Buy a ticket.

“Archer” is a half-hour animated comedy that revolves around the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) and the lives of its employees. Although their work of espionage, reconnaissance missions, wiretapping and undercover surveillance is daunting and dangerous, every covert operation and global crisis is actually just another excuse for the ISIS staff to undermine, sabotage and betray each other for personal gain.

A Q-and-A session will follow the screening.
