Background

About Ernesto Molina

I am an experienced animation professional with 8 years of industry expertise in creating, producing, and directing 2D & 3D animated projects (Film & TV) from pitch to screen, leading all the creative and artistic stages. My track record includes multiple official selections at international Animation Festivals such as Pixelatl in Mexico, Ventana Sur in Argentina, and the MIA in Rome. This success is attributed to my original pitches, such as "What the Quest is This"- with a short broadcasted by Cartoon Network - and "My Brother the Monster," my first 26x11, which has become the flagship of my animation career. My most significant achievement has been co-producing "My Brother the Monster” with Gasolina Studios and Arcana Studios as the first 26x11 original Mexican animated series funded by our government and distributed globally by Jetpack, one of the Top 3 Distribution Companies on the Kidscreen 2023 Hot List. My versatile skill set encompasses scriptwriting, storyboarding, editing, art direction, animation direction, and post-production. My career has led me into the core of the animation ecosystem, thanks to my constant involvement in international markets like the MIFA Annecy, and B2B meetings with the top broadcasters and studios from Latin America and North America. Creating stories means everything to me; there is not a single second in my life that I am not daydreaming about new characters, settings, and worlds. Also, there isn't a single day in my life when I don't think about the future of our medium and how I want to create a new path for the next generation, leaving something truly remarkable behind when I'm gone.
