Cory Edwards made his feature film debut with Hoodwinked, but he’d already had a long career as a filmmaker before that. Involved in almost every creative area of the business for over thirty years, he has served as writer, director, producer, actor, animator, art director, and editor. Since his childhood “Super 8mm” days, Cory has been making movies. He shot everything from adventure serials to superhero comedies, complete with storyboards, miniatures, animation, and pyrotechnics. From grade school to college, Cory would turn any class project into a film or video project, sometimes winning national contests. He interned at an animation studio in Ohio during his collegiate summers. After college, Cory worked at a Tulsa production company, directing music videos and commercials.

Hoodwinked was one of the top grossing movies during its theatrical release in spring of 2006, and grossed over 150 million dollars worldwide. It is still widely regarded as the most profitable animated film of all time. Edwards recently finished writing and directing Fe@rleSS, an animated superhero comedy for Netflix, as well as writing the #1 Netflix feature “Woody Woodpecker Goes To Camp.”
