Angela Stempel (b.1989) is a Venezuelan- American filmmaker, animation artist and industry proven director. Her animated narratives investigate the possibilities of abstraction, while telling the stories of lovably flawed characters with overactive imaginations. While her work leans into humor for social commentary, she is deeply interested in celebrating all the experiences of her female protagonists with empathy. Her films have screened at the Annecy Animation Festival, Pictoplasma, Slamdance, the Ottawa Animation Festival and the Zagreb Animation Festival, to name a few. In 2021, she was the Executive Producer and Animation Director of the PEN15 Animated Special, now streaming on Hulu. In 2024, she completed her first, 45 minute Animated Musical Special which she directed for AppleTV+ and Bento Box Entertainment.
