6 the "ugly7duckling8." But, for Covarrubias, "its very appealing9 to be able to tell profound10, psychological, and

existential11 stories through a medium12 of expression that is widely prejudiced13 on a global scale."

Theres now a growing infrastructure1 to support Chilean animation. There are close to ten animation schools that have

played2 a big role in shaping the next generation of artists. Chilean animators also continue to participate in film

festivals3abroad4, giving5 them a chance to network with other artists, and distribute their films internationally

6. In the early 2010s, the creation of ChileMonos, one of Latin Americas largest animation film festivals, provided creatives in the industry a chance to

exhibit7 their work. By 2013, the creation of Animachi, an animation guild8, gave Chileans9filmmakers

10 an opportunity to work together on distribution, consulting11, and awareness of their films.1.infrastructure 3632
