Social Media Director
Emmett Goodman is an animation-based artist, writer, independent animator/filmmaker, and instructor. Born in Chicago and raised in Cleveland, Emmett attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, studying film and animation. He has worked in 2D animation for studios such as Augenblick, Cartuna, ideaMachine, and Ace & Son Moving Picture Company. Emmett later went on to earn his MFA in Computer Arts from the School of Visual Arts, adding 3D animation to his resume.
Independently, Emmett has created short-form media for a variety of clients, such as Kerry Coddett’s web series, The Coddett Project, and music-based projects. His collaboration with writer John Meyer, The Magical Mystery of Musigny, played in multiple festivals and won Best Story at the Los Angeles Animation Festival. Throughout 2023, Emmett took on the unusual task of animating one second every day of the year (not the first to do so, it should be mentioned). He has since posted these short segments on Youtube, Instagram and TikTok. His animated short film, Last Year…, was completed in May 2024.
Emmett has volunteered with ASIFA-East for years. In 2024, Emmett was promoted to Social Media Director, managing ASIFA-East’s social media presence. He has written articles on animation culture for the organization, and has been published in ASIFA Magazine.
Currently, Emmett teaches 2D animation and Digital Art at Pratt Institute, among other places in the Tri-State area. He remains passionate about animation and film, and is always looking forward to the next project.
