MIKE MYHRE

Directing cartoons is my passion.
I love working with teams, taking advantage of everyone's strengths to create the best shows possible.
I have been in the animation industry since 2006. I began as a storyboard revisionist, and quickly moved into a storyboard artist position.
In that time, I've worked at studios such as Studio B, Nerd Corps, and Big Bad Boo, where I was nominated for a Leo Award, and I achieved my dream of directing with season 4 of Littlest Pet Shop, and seasons 7, 8 & 9 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
After that, at Wildbrain Studios, I was storyboard supervisor on seasons 1 & 2 of The Snoopy Show, and season 2 of Snoopy in Space for Apple TV+, then board supe on Lego Ninjago season "Crystalized," and a season of Lego Dreamzzz for Netflix.

Between 2021-2023 I was co-series director of a new series intended for HBO Max, that I'm technically still under an NDA for. It was passed on after we finished it, post-merger with Discovery, but the client is still shopping it to streamers. 
On that project I got to help build a series based on source material, and turn it into the thing I am most proud of in my professional career.

Directing and working in storyboards have been my career goals since I was in 6th grade. It's my passion.
I love the creative process of animation. of everyone bringing something to the table. I value being a leader; the collaboration, problem-solving, mentoring, and working with artists to create the best work possible.
Directing is the best job I've ever had.
