Hi, I’m Genesis Maldonado, a student at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, pursuing a Bachelor in Entertainment Design - Animation Track. I’m well-versed in Storyboard Pro, Harmony, Maya, Photoshop and ZBrush. I’ve written and directed multiple short films, both solo and with teams, and I’m currently directing and leading a student 2D animated short film that debuted in Fall Shorts Showcase 2025. I’m excited to learn more about the animation industry and open to opportunities to grow my craft. I’m also developing leadership and teamwork skills, having supervised and trained new baristas and helped organize materials, safety protocols, and customer service standards. I look forward to connecting with collaborators and festival organizers to showcase new work at future film festivals.
