Director; Kyle Arneson (Robot Chicken, Bratz, Meevil the Weevil) is a director and production designer who loves telling fantastical stories in mixed media animation.

Meevil the Weevil celebrates the charm and excitement of a bygone era: the wood-paneled, shag-carpeted, glittery magic of my youth. It was an age where daring to try was compelling enough to inspire a generation and the unknown felt endlessly explorable. The enormity of Meevil’s world and his quest to be a great stuntbug perfectly blends my passion for whimsical storytelling with my professional dedication to miniature effects, stop motion animation and mixed media storytelling. Thanks to the encouragement and enthusiasm of his coach, Olis, our sometimes-self-doubting hero finds the inner strength to achieve his goals: an echo of my relationship with my recently departed father to whom this film is dedicated. When Meevil’s big dreams intersect with reality, it often requires mustering courage, equally as big, to rise to the occasion and simply enjoy the ride. After all, it’s not about being the best, it’s about trying our best.

Director /Artist Jeff Hilliard (Frankenstein) is a multifaceted artist celebrated for his satirical music videos and creative storytelling. His ability to combine satire with compelling visuals has made him a standout figure in the world of music and film.
