welcome to marcie’s portfolio

bioMarcie LaCerte is a mixed Chinese-American animator, director, and illustrator based in Minneapolis, where she teaches animation and illustration at the University of Minnesota and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Her films have screened at Ottawa International Animation Festival, GLAS Animation, and AFI Docs, and she has worked on documentaries acquired by The New Yorker and The Guardian. The Pleasure-Dome is her latest short film.

Marcie’s work is irreverent, darkly comic, and character-driven. She is interested in psychological and atmospheric narratives, and her films and illustrations follow alienated figures traversing surreal, gothic landscapes. She merges traditional and digital techniques in her process, using a stop motion-inspired collage approach to create densely-layered compositions influenced by puppetry and theatrical staging.

She also produces the podcast Melting Into Air. In her free time, she likes playing piano, watching Survivor, listening to podcasts, and looking at vintage clothes on eBay.
