Ronnie del Carmen

Ronnie del Carmen's career is marked by a singular historic achievement: being the first Filipino to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. That nomination for Inside Out put him in the record books and opened doors for other Filipino artists in animation. His work on Finding Nemo and Up also earned him industry respect, and his short Dug's Special Mission showcased his directorial talents. Del Carmen's contributions have been recognized with a BAFTA win, and he remains a source of pride for the Filipino animation community.
