Hey, I’m Tyler Landis.

I’m an LA-based writer, animator, and improviser. My self-produced animated shorts "An Alien Affair" and "The Infinite Legends of Johnny Gunn and Kyle the Boy Archer" were both Official Selections for the Animation Block Party film festival, and my animated sci-fi pilot scripts "Out There" and "King of the Moon" are both in the Top 10% of projects on Coverfly. I am a graduate of The Upright Citizens Brigade’s long-form improv program, and I’m currently training at The Groundlings.

Currently seeking representation.

The Infinite Legends of Johnny Gunn and Kyle the Boy Archer

The adorable Kyle the Boy Archer and his legendary mentor Johnny Gunn are constantly adventuring! When they come across a fantasy village that participates in a barbaric annual ritual to please their cruel king, will our heroes intervene?

Who are the
Li’l Buddies?

In 2011, I spent one Friday night alone in my dorm room until 4am cranking out an absolutely ridiculous, horribly animated short called “Pooing” that had popped into my head earlier that day. I had been making animations since I was 14, but this one quickly surpassed the popularity of anything else I had made! I ended up making 8 more shorts with those characters. In 2019, I made 7 episodes of a scripted animated talk show called The Anytime Show, hosted by the “Li’l Buddies”, as the characters came to be known.
