10th Life

A native to the Seattle suburbs, Ellie Kraemer began her quest to become a professional artist and animator when she was thirteen years old. That pursuit eventually lead her to Peoria, Illinois to study Animation at Bradley University, from which she graduated in 2024. Her filmmaking debut, 10𝘵𝘩 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦, is a culmination of everything she learned as an animation student, plus a deep appreciation for cats, the local scenery, the supernatural, and the bonds that endure long after we are gone. Originating as her senior thesis project, most of the production process occurred in Peoria, with the remainder completed back in the Seattle area where she currently resides.

Outside of her visual artistry, Ellie enjoys making music, volunteering at the animal shelter, learning about nature, and moving through the world in curiosity.
