Circle Leader
Janice Rim
I’m a Korean-American Director and Story Artist. I studied filmmaking and started considering storyboarding as a career at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
I have had the pleasure of storyboarding for Disney Junior’s Alice’s Wonderland Bakery, Chicken Squad, T.O.T.S., and directing a series of shorts about mental health for CalHOPE at Studio Smokescreen.
Currently, I’m directing an unannounced show at Wild Canary Animation. Outside of work, I’m a big fan of watching international films and taking one-day craft classes of all sorts.
