Summer Joy Tigney (AKA Summer Joy) is a film student currently attending California State University Northridge attaining a degree in Screenwriting with a minor in art. She recently published a narrative essay in the textbook <\/span>“Waves: A Collection of Student Essays”-Fourth Edition during her time at CSUN and is looking to start her career in animation as she finishes up her studies.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While at CSUN, she has worked on several projects, from her surrealist short film \u201cAnomaly\u201d to directing a reimagining of David Holden\u2019s \u201cYoung & Hungry.\u201d As a screenwriting major she spends lots of time writing and loves to work on character-driven projects full of comedy, drama, and action! Summer puts her heart and soul into every project and especially LOVES the little moments characters share that make them our favorites. She\u2019s at home exploring fantastical worlds filled with magic and wonder to epic battles across the galaxy! But like many she finds fulfillment traversing the oddities of mundane life and the excitement in a child\u2019s day of play.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a Black LGBTQ+ woman she jumps at the opportunity to elevate the voices of her peers and finds joy and necessity in creating inclusive content and safe spaces for all to express their shared experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additionally, Summer has spent the last few years studying art alongside writing and is looking for opportunities to expand her knowledge of the animation pipeline, and challenge her abilities as an artist and writer and grow her skillset as a storyteller.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She\u2019s currently based in Santa Clarita, CA and is available for work (hybrid, remote, relocation). If you\u2019re interested in working with her she\u2019d love to hear from you! \ud83d\ude01<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”4.23.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-bb730dca-23ad-45ab-ac1c-91061d0c80d9″ locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-bb730dca-23ad-45ab-ac1c-91061d0c80d9%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#8300E9″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ toggle_font=”Space Grotesk|500|||||||” toggle_font_size=”36px” toggle_line_height=”1.4em” body_font_size=”15px” body_line_height=”1.8em” toggle_font_size_tablet=”20px” toggle_font_size_phone=”16px” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”15px” body_font_size_phone=”14px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#1644DA” border_width_bottom=”2px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Operational & Production Support” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|true” border_color_all=”#8300E9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I provide operational and production support by keeping projects organized, schedules on track, and communication flowing across teams.
