John Carell
Los Angeles,CA
Summary
My name is John Carell, and I am a Senior at Northwestern studying RTVF and history, looking to go into writing for animation. During my time at school, I have been developing scripts, writing for a local satirical comedy paper, and cultivating my art style to animate borderline incomprehensible short films that speak to niche, like-minded audiences. I have great experience in most aspects of content creation, being proficient in all steps from writing to post-production.
