JOHN A. DAVIS (Director/Producer/Screenwriter) and his partner Keith Alcorn, founded DNA Productions, Inc in 1987. A full-service animation company based in Dallas, Texas, the company produces, directs and writes 2-D and 3-D animation projects for numerous commercial and entertainment companies.
Davis and Alcorn began their association with producer Steve Oedekerk and his company, O Entertainment, after the 1995 SIGGRAPH Conference, where a short entitled "Johnny Quasar," which Davis created, wrote, directed and animated won two "Wavey" Awards: Best in Show and Best Character Animation. Oedekerk was so impressed with photos he saw from that project that he cold-called Davis, and a creative relationship with DNA Productions was born.
In 1997 Davis wrote, directed and even animated a few shots of the first all-3-D cartoon made for primetime. The show, "Santa Vs. The Snowman," aired as an ABC Christmas special, and it won a Gold Award from the WorldFest Houston International Film Festival, as well as a Lone Star Award.
In 1999, Davis served as director of animation for the Emmy-nominated "Olive the Other Reindeer." His other directing credits include "AJ's Time Travelers" and "Attack of the 5'2" Woman!"
As writer/director, Davis's credits include the direct-to-video "Super Duper Eco Troopers" as well as the theatrical shorts "Hard Edition" and "The Tale of Nipploless Nippleby." He also was contributing producer and director on the direct-to-video series' of "Jingaroo and his Crew."
