Henry Zhinin is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), where he majored in Film and Television and minored in Animation. He is the founder of Artist Creations Pictures, a home-based indie film studio, and also holds an Associate of Science in Communication and Media Arts from Dutchess Community College (2018).

Passionate about visual storytelling across film, animation, and hybrid formats, Henry views filmmaking as a craft rather than a single role. He creates animation and live-action projects using Adobe Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Autodesk Maya, and other tools. Depending on the project, he takes on roles such as writer, director, animator, designer, or editor to sharpen the concept, especially early in production. Inspired by filmmakers who see cinema as a world-building and emotional experience, he continues to push his work as he develops ideas for his future career.
