Director Biography

Jesse Cowan is an independent animator, graphic novelist, and film maker. Beginning his media career in the early 2000s, Jesse has worked as a freelance 3D artist, as well as professor of Media, 3D, and Animaton at The Art Institute, and George Mason University. Jesse was able to put his impressive animation skills to the test at Speakeasy FX, where he would form lasting friendships and create elegant and appealing media for public broadcast.

Setting his sights higher, Jesse began the momentous task of starting his own brand with an independent media company. He has since brought his own characters and stories to life, and begun self-publishing a series of independent graphic novels known as "Little Wolf", which draws heavily from Native American myth, and continues to enjoy success as an underground media phenomenon through books, comics, games, and animation.

Today, Jesse has gathered various colleagues into his indie media team to collaborate with artists across the globe and bring Little Wolf to life in the way he always intended, through the art of animation.
