Hello! I’m an award winning filmmaker, animator and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York.

With 15+ years of freelance experience, I’ve worked as a 2D animator and director for clients such as Pokémon, the NBA, A$AP Rocky, Eminem & Snoop Dogg, Sony Pictures, Disney, Netflix and the X-Games. In addition, my short films have played at a variety of prestigious festivals, illustrations have been both published and featured in prominent gallery exhibitions and I participate in several film festival juries.

Recently my film Buzzkill screened at over 60 festivals, winning 12 awards including Best Animated Short at Screamfest, Flicker's RIIFF Vortex, GenreBlast and Woodstock - the latter resulting in an Academy Award qualification. It’s now streaming on Screambox, Alter and as a Vimeo Staff Pick. My new award winning film Poppa is available now on Scrimshaw Animation, after playing festivals worldwide.

These days I’m available for remote work from my home studio, which includes a large Cintiq, Adobe’s Creative Suite, a grumpy cat and all the necessary file sharing and communication tools.

Buzzkill's Screamfest Skully Award

Buzzkill's Screamfest Skully Award

Peter Ahern

She's hereeeee!

Buzzkill's Skully Award from Screamfest arrived in the mail today and it's such a wicked beast!! It definitely weighs more than my cat, is bigger than my toaster, and coolest of all: it was designed by special effects ICON Stan Winston (who did not design my cat or my toaster)! For Buzzkill to have won this means so much to me and my little horror-obsessed brain. I mean for real, such a dream!

I can't thank Screamfest enough for the opportunity...it was surreal seeing our film play at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatres during the largest, longest running horror film festival in the country (let alone winning anything on closing night). All my gratitude to the organizers, volunteers, filmmakers and guests for welcoming and supporting us this year!

Finally, congrats to my team! You all killleddd it! What do you think, should we divide this trophy into 7 pieces? Just like cutting a cake, right? But with like, powertools.
