MEET MOLLY SCHIOT

Raised in a small New Hampshire town, Molly’s artistic calling led her to the prestigious Glasgow School of Art, and then on to Brown University.  From there, she leaped energetically into the world of commercials, music videos, and film, and hasn’t stopped since.

Molly’s whimsical and unique imagination stems from a background in illustration, photography and “the small things in life” – all of which have influenced the approach she takes toward live action and her intimate animation spots.   Approaching her work with a deep respect for the ubiquitous and the mundane, Molly’s marvelous worlds are a tour de force, telling stories that captivate and engage the viewer from start to finish.  Her creative endeavors have led to sold-out exhibitions of her paintings and drawings, music videos for the likes of The Raveonettes and Mark Ronson, and commercials for Nokia, Converse, Trident, and Levi’s.  Molly is also a regular contributor to Paper Magazine’s “Check You Out” video series, with her hilariously kooky films, featuring notable Los Angeles personalities in pop culture, such as Malin Akerman, Devendra Banhart, and the brilliant comedy duo ThunderArt (Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein from the critically-acclaimed IFC series, “Portlandia.”)

The queen of all multi-hyphenates, there doesn’t seem to be anything Molly Schiot can’t do — illustrator, filmmaker, animator, photographer, painter, writer, baker, set maker and so on.  Molly’s body of work thus far has allowed her to showcase her sharp intellect and offbeat humor, as she constantly thrills audiences with her latest creations.

Molly’s favorite book is Blueberries for Sal.
