EVAN VIERA is a director based out of MKE and LA (USA). 

He Directs through many places:

Illusorium Studios, Digital Domain, Passion Pictures, and Yukfoo. 

He has spoken at Pixar Animation Studios, Ars Electronica Festival,
to himself—brushing his teeth—in the mirror, and elsewhere. 

He grew out of the hillside of rural Massachusetts. 
He has a cat, a son, and a partner. He misses the rain. And the cows. 

He is formerly an Artist at thatgamecompany.
and an Artist in Residence at Hampshire College.

He won the Prix Ars Award of Distinction in 2012.
He was nominated for an Annie in 2017 and lost.
In 2018 "The Palau Pledge", which he directed,
received 3 Cannes Lion Grand Prix, and an AD&D Black Pencil.

He finds that failure feels more familiar than success and likes it that way.
