Berlin is a city that I love and was lucky enough to spend four months living there in 2019 for an internship. It is somewhere I would definitely like to return to and so I had a small research into Berlin animation studios – 2D in particular.

- has no vacancies for internships
- happy to receive unsolicited applications for freelance animators (high quality, reliability and compliance with deadlines are prerequisites for cooperation)
