GemGfx Animation Studios is the realization of a shared dream that ignited in 2007. It is the story of two distinct creative paths converging to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

When Dixie Ann Archer-McBain and Everard J. McBain Jr. met, they found a mirror for their own artistic ambitions. Dixie Ann, an accountant with the soul of a novelist, brought a narrative depth inspired by a lifelong love of literature passed down from her mother. Everard, a graphic designer nurtured by his own mother’s belief in his creativity, found the courage to return to his childhood passion: animation.

Together, they transformed individual talent into collective purpose. Everard mastered the art of traditional 2D motion, while Dixie Ann became the narrative heartbeat of the studio, expanding her skills into 3D modeling to literally build the worlds their stories inhabit. Today, GemGfx is the proof that when discipline meets imagination, stories don’t just get told they come to life.
