William Elder Groebe

Filmmaker / Art Director / Storyboard Artist

I may not be the hardest working man in Hollywood, but it’s not for a lack of trying. For over three decades I’ve worked as a director, animation director, art director, storyboard artist, concept artist, and professional ballet dancer. Though my dance experience hasn’t come in as handy as I’d hoped.

My directing credits include episodes of Bleacher Report’s The Portal which won a Sports Emmy in 2022, the short films Three Queens, and Suspended, as well as a variety of commercials. I currently work as an art director for Rob McElhenney’s company Adim, directing their first film (as of yet to be announced).

I’ve contributed art direction and storyboards to dozens of films and TV shows including Deadpool 2 and 3, Stranger Things, Bullet Train, Free Guy and more, as well as concept art/ animation for video games including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. As an Animation Director I have lead teams on such films as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, It Chapter 2, Ted, Cloverfield, and the Twilight films.

Still waiting for a movie gig that utilizes my ballet skills. It’s good to have dreams.
