Hi everyone! I'm new here, so thought I'd introduce myself! I'm Edwin Rhemrev, a Dutch artdirector/designer for feature animation with credits on 20+ features including projects like Minions: The Rise of Gru, Despicable Me 3, Over The Moon, The Grinch, Spongebob, and lots more fun projects :)
Although I love the visual aspect of designing films, over the years i've become obsessed with story and therefore have started developing my own projects and writing my own stories, which led me to Stage 32! :) Also a dad of twins, now 5 years old, who make me feel great about my ideas as they'll laugh at anything. Oh well!
Always happy to connect with likeminded individuals, especially those active in the animation industry trying to write screenplays :)
For samples of my work please visit http://www.rhemrev.com, many thanks!
All my best,
-Edwin

You're welcome, Edwin Rhemrev. I'm looking forward to seeing "The Grinch." I know. I'm behind. Haha I've seen the other "Grinch" movies. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" with Jim Carrey is my favorite.

Hello Edwin Rhemrev - it's very nice to meet you. Our family LOVED the entire Despicable Me franchise including MINIONS. I write both live and animated projects. In fact, I just submitted two projects to our Stage 32 Animation contest. The loglines and pitch decks are on my profile. So awesome that your twins enjoy daddy's fun work!
