Background

About Brian Roberts

Shaping ideas from the first spark of inspiration to the final frame. I'm drawn to the intersection of good projects, good people, and things that are good for the world. Grounded in the belief that how we treat each other can be just as important as what we create. My experience spans story, design, animation, and production—connecting ideas to execution and turning obstacles into opportunities. Over two decades in kids and family animation, I've grown from animator to director to executive producer. Known for partnering closely with writers, artists, production teams, and executives to balance creative vision with the realities of schedule, budget, and people. Extensive experience guiding overseas teams across time zones, cultures, and pipelines—delivering high-quality work together. Recognized for being calm under pressure, clear with feedback, and trusted to help teams do their best work. Currently completing an MFA in screenwriting to deepen craft from the inside out—I'm especially drawn to stories with heart that aren’t just entertaining, but meaningful.
