Peabody winning, Emmy and Annie nominated director, Amber Hollinger, grew up in San Luis Obispo, California, splitting her time between the beach and farms of her extended family in Paso Robles. From a young age she was intrigued with marrying her love of art with her love of film. Seeking a place where her quirkiness would thrive she landed her first professional animation job at the age of 18. With over 35 properties on her resume her passion has not wavered. Amber is the kind of filmmaker where her devotion and heart can be seen in everything she touches. Her leadership style is rooted in communication, mutual respect and teamwork. She works hard, laughs loud, embraces challenges and will almost certainly run into that door jam on the way out of the room.
