Andy: A Dog’s Tale is a heartfelt adventure that celebrates curiosity, courage, and seeing the world through fresh eyes. This Family Day event begins with a screening of the animated short, followed by a fun, behind-the-scenes conversation with director Jamy Wheless. Jamy will share how Andy’s story was created—from dreaming up characters to turning ideas into animation—and show how stories come alive on both the page and the screen. Drawing on his experience as an animator at Industrial Light & Magic, where he worked on films like Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean, Jamy will give families a kid-friendly look at how animation works and how imagination becomes a movie. This all-ages conversation invites young readers and budding creators to ask questions, dream big, and explore the many ways stories can be told—through drawing, writing, and animating entire worlds.
