Award winning animator Allen Mezquida first honed his animation skills at major animation innovators Fox and Disney Studios. His original animated comic "SMIGLY" has accrued millions of views online, and some of his commercial clients include American Express and Intel. Before becoming an animator and editor, he traveled the world as a jazz saxophonist playing with Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Bill Charlap, Brad Mehldau and many other jazz greats. That last sentence seems like a bold-faced lie, but we assure you it is not.
