DIRECTOR COLLIN SCHUSTER

My name is Collin Schuster, and I am a story artist and animator from Dallas, Texas and graduated from the University of Southern California with a bachelor’s in Animation and Digital Arts. My areas of interest include storyboarding, 2D animation, animation production, development, and musical composition. Plus, I love to play doubles tennis and jam on the keyboard very late at night, as well as play the melodica (Look it up, it will change your life). My favorite shows are Adventure Time, Bob’s Burgers, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, and Arrested Development. In other words, no, I haven’t grown up yet.
