BIO

I was part of the first generation of students to get a computer in the classroom, and at age 13, I bought my own Commodore VIC-20 with $300 that I earned picking strawberries.

I immediately put the technology to use drawing pictures; simplistic images that were constructed out of small geometric shapes and eight (that's right, eight!) available colors.

Shortly thereafter, I also discovered a love of cinema.  And it just so happened that eventually, the worlds of film-making and computer-imagery would combine, right as I was deciding what to do with my life.

Thirty years later, I've worked steadily as a Visual F/X artist on numerous Super Bowl commercials, music videos, and films.

In my spare time, I write screenplays and direct my own short-films, which have screened in festivals throughout the country and the world.

An Animated Feature-Length Screenplay

by Rex Carter

"I bet you can't make the North Pole Disappear..."

Maximilien, the Magnificent is the world's most famous magician, and every night on stage, he can make an elephant vanish before your eyes.

But when the extent of his illusion is challenged by a seemingly innocent child, the magician with a secret power makes a terrible miscalculation.

Now, it's up to his estranged daughter to pick up his magic wand and save the holidays.
