1. Klark Marquez
- Klark Marquez is a 2D animator and illustrator based in the Philippines. Originally from the province of Leyte, he longs to bring his unique creations, stories, and characters to the big screen. He believes that animation is not just for kids, and that it can greatly impact a person’s life through carefully crafted plots, well-developed characters, and masterful storytelling. His motto is “to make the world a better place through the stories I tell”. His student short film, Layo ra’s Tinai, has been selected to screen in various film festivals including Animahenasyon, Sinag Maynila, Friendship Fest, and the Voronezh International Film Festival.

2. Gaegan Perpetua
- Gaegan L Perpetua, ABANI 121 Alumni of Benilde. Former Art Director of Animotion and currently a multi-media specialist under an Asset Management Firm. Continuously creating human-made art via conventions such as komiket and sticker con and building their social media presence under the art account

3. Rory Esguerra
- Rory Esguerra is a freelancer in Philippine animation, and most notably: a child at heart and animal-lover, who is deathly allergic to generative AI. She belongs to the graduating batch of 2024, from the DLS-CSB Animation program. She prides herself as a jack-of-all trades in 2d animation: with the flexibility to insert herself in almost any stage of the production, if need be. Mentored by Eru Petrasanta, Rory mostly dabbles in supervising roles and producer-work. In leading roles, she worked as an animation supervisor and helped develop the art direction for ‘Project EWA’—for the 2024 Annecy Pitch by director Keith Sicat. She stepped up as associate producer for RUNO! (2025), directed by iAcademy students Lysa Catolico and Jazmine Gin R. Pateña. She was also among the animation supervisors for 58th (2026), a full-length feature film directed by Carl Joseph E. Papa, a GMA Pictures Production. Currently, she is the animation producer for ‘Lunes’: an upcoming animated short and proof of concept for a subsequent full-length feature titled, ‘Happy Grad’—both directed by sibling-duo Anya and Dominic Zulueta. Rory is a carefree spirit, having no concrete or long-term career plans in sight. She goes where the wind takes her.

4. Vaughn Tan
- I am an animator, generalist, and comic book artist who began my career in the video game industry. Driven by a deep love for film and storytelling, I eventually transitioned into making comic books. Today, I am a published creator with a comic book under Komiket's Secret HQ. Alongside creating, I share my knowledge as an art instructor while continuously exploring new creative boundaries and artistic passions.
