Christy Karacas is an American filmmaker and musician well-known as the force behind the animated television shows SUPERJAIL! and Ballmastrz:9009. His work feels torn from the pages of underground comics, low-budget Hollywood movies, 20th century video games, and halloween punk with an outrageous thrift-store sensibility rarely gracing the airwaves these days. Having emerged from the influential art scene around Providence, RI in the early aughts, Karacas became known for his tightly drawn hand-drawn animations, SPACE WAR and BARFIGHT, charting a path to a series of equally wild commercial projects. His newest work BALLMASTRZ:RUBICON, a sports-themed anime exploding from a post-apocalypse future on roller-skates recently aired on Adult Swim/HBOMAX, adding more sparkle to his motley crew of cultural touchstone. He is also currently teaching animation and storyboarding at the Rhode Island School of Design.
