Summary
Jordan R. Zangrillo is a New York based comedy writer and animator whose work draws from personal experiences, often exaggerating them humorous narratives. A 2014 graduate of SUNY Purchase with a B.A. in Playwriting and Screenwriting, his comedic approach has led to collaborations with cult-classic talents including Toddy Walters (South Park), Jim Tozzi (Adult Swim), and Mack “Elf” Aroni on the acclaimed “Young’N’Bored: Pilot Episode”. The project’s Kickstarter campaign raised more than $12,000, helped build an audience of over 15,000 YouTube subscribers, and earned recognition as a finalist at the New York Animation Film Awards.
Currently, Jordan is pursuing his M.F.A. in 2-D Animation at the Rochester Institute of Technology while living and working out of Los Angeles, CA.
