Julia Ocker is an animation director, designer and author from Stuttgart.

Her graduation film, KELLERKIND, won the First Steps Awards 2012, the Tricky Women Prize 2013 and was nominated for the 2014 Annie Awards.
Julia discovered her passion for children's movies as she had the opportunity to produce five short films with Studio FILM BILDER for the SWR series, I KNOW AN ANIMAL. From these five short films her own series ANIMANIMALS was created, it then went on to be shown on KiKa and sold to more than 180 international territories. As every episode works as a short film, they have run in many festivals worldwide and won more than 70 awards. ANIMANIMALS won the 2019 Grimme-Preis in the children's film category and was nominated for an International Emmy.
Julia Ocker has two small children and has been inspired by her experience as a mother to create the short film HELLO STRANGER.
