KYLIE MUNDELL
Kylie Mundell is a recent graduate of Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts with a BFA in 2D animation. She primarily acts as a storyboard artist, specializing in comedy and character acting, though she enjoys taking on production, animation, and voice acting roles when they’re presented. Her work is known for being imaginative and wacky, grounding the story in the characters rather than a familiar world. Outside of GrizzlyJerr, she enjoys starting Minecraft worlds she’ll abandon in a week and perfecting the KATSEYE Gnarly choreography.

GIANMARCO OTINIANO
Gianmarco Otiniano is a Los Angeles based animator, illustrator, and storyboard artist with a love for playful, and offbeat storytelling. Born in Peru and raised in Southern California, he developed an early love for animation and visual storytelling that continues to shape his work today.
In 2018 Gianmarco graduated from Laguna College of Art and Design with a BFA in Animation and has been working in animation and illustration ever since. He’s especially interested in stylized work, comedy, and creating characters and worlds that feel both strange and sincere.

REBECCA CHIVERS
Rebecca Chivers is a recent grad of Chapman’s Animation and VFX program. Her one true love is 2D character animation, with a particular emphasis on acting scenes with heavy emotions. In addition, she specializes in 2D compositing and animation production. Her dream is to one day work on an animated production with big musical sequences and lots of drama - hopefully starring some cool animalistic or supernatural characters! Rebecca is a big fan of vampires, werewolves and all the beasties in between. In their free time, you can find them doodling someone from their various catalog of creature characters (and if not she’s probably playing some variation of a pokemon game).
