Bevin Carnes has been pursuing a career in animation and film for almost as long as she can remember. She made her first stop-motion animated film at the age of 8, as part of her 3rd grade science project. She has gone on to graduate from the world-renowned Computer Animation program at Ringling College of Art and Design, where she also won the President's award for her senior thesis film at the annual Best of Ringling Exhibition.Bevin's student film from Ringling also won the Bronze Medal Award at the 2007 Student Academy Awards, as well as being shown at prominent film festivals around the world, including the Sarasota International Film Festival, the Nashville Film Festival, and the Ars Electronica Festival. She was also featured on Good Morning America in 2007 as an up and coming filmmaker and animator. She has since worked as a character animator for Disney Feature Animation and Fox Animation/Blue Sky Studios on such feature films as the Oscar-nominated Bolt and the highest-grossing animated feature of all time (at the time of its release) Ice Age 3:Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Most recently, she has completed VFX work at Sony Imageworks on the upcoming Warner Brothers feature Green Lantern. She is now working on several projects as an independent filmmaker, and is attending the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting where she will complete her first two feature-length screenplays. She is also actively involved with Women in Film and will be directing a PSA with the WIF PSA Production Program later this year.
