Eric M. Miller
CEO | Executive Producer

Prior to founding Moonward Studios, Eric sharpened his skills at DreamWorks Animation working across multiple departments including animation, layout, rigging, modeling, surfacing, and character effects. During his half-decade at DreamWorks, Eric collaborated on some of the biggest animation franchises in the business--including Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and How to Train Your Dragon--managed crews of up to 60 artists, and led animation teams in multiple locations ranging from in-house artists to artists around the globe.  

Proud of his accomplishments at DreamWorks Animation and eager to take the next step in his career, Eric left DreamWorks in July of 2014 to found Eric Miller Animation and later Moonward Studios.

He also forged strong relationships within the larger animation community through his memberships in the International ASIFA Hollywood, Woman in Animation, and the Producers Guild of America. Eric also founded the Creators Society, an animation organization with the mission of bringing the animation community together through the events and programs they put on.

With over 17 years in animation production, along with the experience of starting and successfully running three companies, Eric knows a thing or two about how to take an idea and build something wonderful from it. His credit list includes: Monsters vs. Aliens, the Academy Awards and Annie nominated Kung Fu Panda 2, Madagascar 3, Home, Bink, and several animated shorts.
