ANTHONY KOITHRA
is a ‘full-stack’ indie animated filmmaker - equal parts writer, director, animator and technical artist - he publishes under the name Locodrome.
Originally from India and now based in Brooklyn, Anthony makes films that ask serious questions while often involving vampires, robots, and spaceships.
His first original animated short, ‘Machines Learning’ is currently on a festival run, and he has an ambitious animated feature in development with a US studio.
Anthony is an Unreal Fellow in Animation, and received an Epic Megagrant in 2025 for his free, open-source character animation tools - which are used by thousands of professional animators.
Outside of film, Anthony advises startups, teaches Storytelling for Business at NYU and Columbia, and mentors at NYU, NEW INC and Unreasonable Group.
A recovering ‘suit’, he was an MD & Partner at Boston Consulting Group and a founding member of BCGDV - before quitting to be an artist fulltime in 2022.
