Conner Sisemore is a high school filmmaker, writer, humorist, and storyteller who currently resides in Belton, Missouri. Conner first became passionate about filmmaking at the age of eight when he began making animated films with Flipnote Studio on his Nintendo DS. His animated series "The Adventures of Jake and John" quickly drew comparisons to the work of Don Hertzfeldt. His unique storytelling ability, which began, according to his parents, "before he said his first words", has won praise from friends, family, teachers, and professionals alike.

Now 16, when not in the classroom, Conner spends most of his waking hours emerged in his passion for sharing the nearly endless number of stories and ideas flowing through his brain with the rest of the world as he works towards pursuing his goal to become a successful filmmaker and storyteller. Conner will study Film and Television Production at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts in the Fall of 2024
