We had the chance to sit down with Everett Downing and Patrick Harpin, the co-creators of the new Netflix series “My Dad the Bounty Hunter.”
Everett and Patrick are animation industry veterans who’ve worked at studios such as Pixar Animation Studios, Sony Pictures Animation, Blue Sky Studios, and more. Everett also co-directed the Academy Award winning short, “Hair Love.” We chatted with them about classic sci-fi and animation inspiration, role models, mixing styles, and dimbos (aka dad himbos).
