Hi, I’m John Terembula, a 2D animator and director with a passion for telling vivid stories through character-driven animation. Over the years I’ve led art direction on several student films at the School of Visual Arts, handling animation, design, and collaboration with composers and voice actors to bring ideas to life. Currently I’m a Lab Assistant at SVA where I help with IT tasks and support fellow students while continuing to develop my animation craft in Toon Boom Harmony, After Effects, and Blender. I am always eager to collaborate on ambitious projects and grow as a filmmaker.
