Herringbone is an independent animation studio based in Carmel Indiana founded in 2024 by story artist Meridian Gray Culpepper. We're committed to telling vulnerable and authentic stories that ask questions about purpose and identity - all through the lens of high quality hand drawn animation in darkly whimsical worlds.

​

Over 50 artists from studios like Disney Animation, Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, Laika and Netflix are working remotely on a number of original short films in preparation of building up to our first theatrical release. Currently, we are working on our first short titled "Planet Jane" about the lengths that artists can go to in order to sell their soul to the animation industry.
