Who are the Documators?
Two friends.
One art-obsessed. One tech-obsessed.
Thirty years later. The original Documators!
DOCUMATORS (meaning)
documentary + animation = documators. Ramy and Evan have been friends for 30 years and are the original documators!
Evan York: Artist, Illustrator, Animator and Co-Creator of Documators
Born in NYC, Evan York began his art career by leaving 15 foot paintings in the streets just to see who’d take them. Two decades later, his work has appeared in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Criminal Minds, and more than 50 hand-drawn short films. His lines give Documators its signature soul and texture.
Ramy Katrib: Award-Winning Filmmaker, CEO of DigitalFilm Tree and Co-Creator of Documators
Ramy Katrib is an award-winning filmmaker who built DigitalFilm Tree, one of Hollywood’s most forward-thinking post houses with 25 years of excellence. He’s helped shape how the industry tells stories from Napoleon Dynamite to Scrubs and everything in between. With 30 years in storytelling and technology, he brings the structure and innovation that power Documators’ production pipeline.
What started as a 30-year friendship between an artist and a filmmaker evolved into a shared obsession:
What happens when reality gets illustrated?
Documators was born from that question. A studio built for stories that live between
documentary and design.
Our Belief
Reality moves fast.
Art helps it make sense.
We use both.
