Bio:

Michael Overbeck grew up in Hingam Massachusetts. Equipped with a
love for drawing, and interest in animation, and a strange sense of
humor, he went to the Rhode Island School of Design to study
animation. There he became an award-winning student filmmaker. His
first film was Atlas Gets a Drink (1999). His second film, Tongues
and Taxis (2000) allowed him to travel the film festival circuit.
Mike currently lives in Brooklyn and works as a freelance animator
and director.
