Animator, Filmmaker: Megan Ehrhart
Megan is an animator, filmmaker, small-scale sculptor, monster-maker and puppet master who embraces surreal kinematic imagery, beautiful and haunting. Her films intermix the tangible, physical realm with the endless otherworldly possibilities of digital CGI. Her work often deals with an effort to unlock the darkest repressed arenas of the subconscious mind and resolve questions brought on by pareidolic visions and hypnagogic dream states. Live people, crafted objects, fantastical creatures, and transient ethereal environments evoke universal human emotions and illuminate transformations of ego that invade and persist.
Megan earned her MFA in Film from Syracuse University and her BFA in Illustration from Maryland Institute, College of Art. Megan’s sculptures, puppets and installations are exhibited in galleries and on-location sites internationally. Her short films and experimental animations screen in media festivals worldwide and have won awards, including
Best Claymation for "Lobe Massage," and Audience Choice Award for "Lucid Lunch."

Bio Knut Hybinette
Born in Enkoping, Sweden, Knut is an Assistant Professor in Fine Arts/Digital Media at Tarleton State University. Knut received bachelor of the Arts from University of Georgia and a Master of Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He works with game design, photography, animation, video and sound – creations exhibited and screened worldwide including Sweden, Portugal, Germany and the United Sates. Knut’s work was published in the American national publication, Oculus, and he created Night Chicago, a commissioned portfolio for the city sponsored by Tanqueray Gin. Knut has a series of photographs that speaks to the process of aging, narratives inspired by individual stories of loved ones. This body of work exhibited at the Arts Atrium Gallery in New York and Jet Artworks Gallery in Washington, DC. His recent work focuses more on story-telling through animation: dark shorts that are often macabre, visuals that force the audience to suffer through brutal human and animal indignities, upfront and subsumed messages of morality, often with feminist undertones.
