Eric Sinha is a Denver-based filmmaker and educator. After earning his BFA in Film and Animation from the University of Texas at Arlington, he began working at Element X Creative, working with a team that had previously created Jimmy Neutron. From there, he taught high school 2D animation, having his students focus on storytelling, character rigging, and explainer animations. In 2018, Eric decided to study traditional animation with the legendary animator Don Bluth (Film director, animator, production designer: The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Anastasia). Then while working at Mass FX Media, he had the opportunity to work on projects that premiered at Sundance and streamed on Hulu, as well as with major brands like Meta, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
Today, Eric works full time in the 2D animation department at RMCAD teaching Animation and Storytelling. He is passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience with his students, guiding them on their own filmmaking journeys.
