Jill Culton is an American animator, storyboard artist, director, and screenwriter. With her directorial debut on Sony's first animated film, Open Season, she became the first female principal director of a big budget, computer-animated feature.[1]
As of 2010, Culton was at DreamWorks Animation.[5] For some time, she was writing and directing an animated film (now titled Abominable) about a little girl and a Yeti, tentatively titled Everest,[6][7] but by 2016, she had left the project.[8] However, she came back to the project to write and direct once again.[9]
