ABOUT
Animator - Writer - Director - Storyboarder - Executive Producer - Creator - Writer of conversational bios
Mike Hollingsworth is an accomplished animation type person with an impressive track-record for creating memorable animation. He’s done a bit of everything, from piloting all six seasons of Netflix’s critically lauded BoJack Horseman to delivering humorous talks to audiences at festivals all over the world. Even the Netherlands (though they were tough nuts to crack!). From writing scripts to fixing blinks he’s mastered the full animation process. This has led to him rising to the rank of Executive Producer on Netflix’s Inside Job and Executive Producer, writer, and Supervising Director on Netflix’s Cat Burglar. Mike served as Co-Execuitive Producer and Supervising Director on BoJack and Tuca and Bertie. His Bojack Horseman episode, "Fish Out of Water," won the 2017 Annecy Cristal and was named the top television episode by both Variety and Time magazines that year. That means it even beat out Storage Wars! Currently, he works as a recruiter for Illumination. Oh, and weirdly, he has also written the last two Annie Awards. A REAL RENAISSANCE MAN! Unfortunately the Renaissance was, like, a hundred years ago so – animation.
