Co-Founder & CCO
Jeremy Stewart is an award-winning animator with over 20 years of experience in the film industry. Prior to co-founding Animism Studios, he was an animation supervisor at Dneg and Image Engine, and has also held lead and senior roles at several other top studios. His long list of credits includes Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp, Pacific Rim II, Jurassic World, Star Trek: Beyond, The Thing, X-men, Happy Feet, Charlotte’s Web and many more.
Jeremy has worked on a diverse range of projects that vary in scope, scale, and style. He has also gone well beyond the role of animator to edit, produce, and create numerous productions. At Animism Studios, Jeremy works tirelessly on new business acquisitions, sales and marketing, and project management. He helps clients achieve their vision and ensures that they get the best possible service and quality. But don’t be surprised to see him working side-by-side with other artists on shots — he loves making movies and isn’t afraid to get dirty and help out.
Giving back is also of great importance to both Jeremy and Animism. He shares his extensive industry knowledge and experience speaking at schools and organizations as well as mentoring up-and-coming artists in his spare time.
