Guts, gore, and everything pink, Keira is an artist who has a deep fascination with meshing morbid sights with marvelous mysticism. Her love for horror and desire to create media that inspires thrills led her to pursue a degree in CG animation in college. Keira believes that horror is a genre with something for everyone, and that delving into and showcasing our fears is the way to fight them. Her animated horror short, "Unwound," is the terrifically terrifying combination of all her passions. With its uncanny scares, sketchy looks, and ghoulishly graceful characters, "Unwound" invites audiences to witness an unexpectedly mechanical dance of death. Keira will graduate from Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts in the Spring of 2026. Read less
