IAPR Recipient Announcement 2025: Gwen Morgan
The discovery of a whole other uncanny, absurd and humorous world; where other strange characters dwell behind doors, uvulas have faces and dancers lose their heads!
We are excited to announce our intake of our 2025/26 Intermediate Animator's Production Residency recipients: Gwen Morgan! Gwen has already made a few films at our lockdown events over the years, including Racing Stripes 2 and Don't Forget To Wear Your Water Shoes.

IAPR Film Synopsis:
I’m very excited to have the opportunity to be the 2025-26 Intermediate Animators Production Resident at Quickdraw Animation Society! The film I plan on making is going to be primarily a stop motion animation using handmade puppets and diorama style sets. It’s going to be an exploration of the inner workings of a puppet, where entering its mouth and falling down its throat will lead to the discovery of a whole other uncanny, absurd and humorous world; where other strange characters dwell behind doors, uvulas have faces and dancers lose their heads!
