Hello! I’m an award winning filmmaker, animator and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York.

With over a decade of freelance experience, I’ve worked as a 2D animator and director for clients such as Pokémon, the NBA, 2 Chainz, Eminem & Snoop Dogg, Netflix, Showtime, Disney and the X-Games. In addition, my short films have played at a variety of prestigious festivals, illustrations have been both published and featured in prominent gallery exhibitions and I’ve served on several film festival juries.

Recently my film Buzzkill screened at over 60 festivals, winning 12 awards including Best Animated Short at Screamfest, Flicker's RIIFF Vortex, GenreBlast and Woodstock - the latter resulting in an Academy Award qualification. It’s now streaming on Alter and as a Vimeo Staff Pick.

These days I’m available for remote work from my home studio, which includes a large Cintiq, Adobe’s Creative Suite, a grumpy cat and all the necessary file sharing and communication tools.

Big news! Buzzkill is screening at the 31st annual Florida Film Festival in their Midnight Shorts program! Not sure why this sweet little ol’ rom-com is being included with all the weird & wild late-night fare, but I’m very excited nonetheless 😉

I’ll be in Orlando for a few days in April to soak up some cinema and sunshine - swing by if you’re in town! FFF is an awesome heavy hitter in showcasing the best of American/foreign independent film and I’m super honored to be included. They’re even accredited by The Academy and winning an award here is a qualifier for the Oscars - cool!

Congrats to my mini team who KILLed it:

Star Kelly McCormack
Background Designer & Painter Stephen Andolino
Special FX Compositer Mike Healey
