Jeremy Rourke is a stop motion animator, performer and educator based in San Francisco, CA. After stitching together his first animated second (12 frames) in 2009, this meticulous, handmade, beautiful, and uncanny medium became home. He creates multimedia performances where, guitar in hand, he sings his projected animations into being.

His commissioned work with documentary filmmakers has screened at festivals including Sundance and Frameline, and has been nominated for an Academy Award. As an educator, he has shared his knowledge and enthusiasm for the art of animation as a visiting artist at UC Davis, SF State, Shapeshifters Cinema, CASA (children’s after school arts) and California College of the Arts.  He can’t thank Recology, Djerassi, I-Park, The Vermont Studio Center and Willapa Bay AIR enough for the time offered to create work during residencies. He currently teaches at Saint Mary’s College. Also there is something in progress on his animation table………
