Hi, I’m Marien Ruenes Amarante, a 3D character animator with a strong point of view and the discipline to back it up. Based in Vancouver, BC, I work at Parsis Entertainment Inc., driving shots from blocking through final polish in Maya with full ownership and a bias for expressive, grounded performance. I earned an Advanced Diploma in 3D Animation & VFX with Honours from Vancouver Film School and a B.A. in Animation from Tecnológico de Monterrey. My work has been recognized at UK Student Film Festival, CutOut Fest, and Madrid Indie Film Fest. I’m not here to check boxes—I'm here to make shots that matter.
