Amelie Chabannes

I worked as the main artist and the artistic director for the animated documentary film series UNLADYLIKE2020, which premiered on PBS’s flagship biography program American Masters with 26 digital shorts and a one-hour television broadcast about diverse and little-known historical American heroines, and the women who now follow in their footsteps, in honor of the centennial of women's suffrage. Presenting this history in a bold new way, UNLADYLIKE2020 has reached over 5.6 million viewers to date. Major funding for the series was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with 18 additional funders. The series was nominated for an NAACP Image Award, a Primetime Emmy Award as part of American Masters’ 2020 season, and was a 2021 Webby Award honoree. The series also received a Silver Award at the 2021 Telly Awards, a 2021 Imagen Award for Best Short Film, and the My Hero Project’s 2020 Women Transforming Media.
