ABOUT ME

My name is Roxanne Ducharme, a French-Canadian illustrator, animator, and filmmaker based in Panama. An Emmy® Award winner, I blend four decades of traditional film animation experience with cutting-edge generative tools to create surreal, poetic, and visually striking narratives. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Cinema from Concordia University in Montreal.

Known in the generative AI community and on social media as TrashCanRoxanne, I’m a proud member of Runway’s exclusive Creative Partners Program (CPP) and a Creative Partner with Hailuo Minimax, Freepik, Higgsfield, Pika, and ImagineArt — leaders in the evolving world of generative AI.

Over the years, my career has taken me around the globe, contributing to feature films, documentaries, television series, video games, and advertising. I have worked in a wide range of roles — animator, art director, director, concept artist, animation supervisor, storyboard artist, layout artist, and character designer. My credits include Steven Spielberg’s An American Tail II: Fievel Goes West, the Oscar-nominated short The Village, and the Emmy® Award-winning series Arthur. My illustrations have also appeared in animated segments for the Science Channel, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic.

At the forefront of AI filmmaking, I draw on my deep animation background to craft innovative, emotionally resonant films — always striving for cinematic excellence.
