I’m thrilled to share a first look at my indie animated short film and personal passion project, “Casey & the Star”. Featuring original songs and music by @jakeymac03 and @jonathanarensman_music, the film follows Casey- a cowboy in love with a star who embarks on a musical, dreamlike journey through the whimsical world of outer space for a chance to finally meet his cosmic love.

With a rough cut premiering at Lipscomb University’s 5 minute Film Festival, the crew and I were beyond honored to be awarded the Audience Choice Award for Best Animated Short Film, alongside a win for Best Animated Original Score.

This is a project 2 years in the making, made with the collaborative talents of so many incredible artists. As I prepare to show in a couple more festivals, this is all I can share for now, but I cannot wait to show more soon! Stay tuned!💫

GATOR BOY is out now! This was a labor of love over 2 years and it’s finally out for the world to see! This is genuinely one of the most unique and fun animated works out there, and I’m so proud of getting to help bring Tyler’s vision to life. This will forever be one of my favorite projects I’ve ever worked on.

Go check it out on the Castle Cyclops YouTube channel and show it some love!🐊🛹🤙

One of my shots from “The Great STAR Caper”! I had a blast getting to animate the villainous Bon Keiser.

Go check out @thegreatstarcaper out now on YouTube! It’s such a cool film and I’m so proud to have gotten to be a small part of it!
