The Beef Boys is my senior thesis film project, a 3D animated series that turns real-life gaming moments with my friends into a slice-of-life, adult-humor narrative. Using genuine audio clips from our sessions, each episode builds on our raw, spontaneous interactions, exaggerated through animation to capture a mix of humor and relatability. Combining a painterly 3D aesthetic with comedy inspired by Adult Swim classics, The Beef Boys seeks to push the boundaries of adult animation while exploring the chaotic, heartfelt nature of friendship in gaming culture.

Known as the animal whisperer amongst her family and friends, Bacot's artwork frequently explores the wacky side of animal subject and characterization.

Described as opinionated, stubborn, and reserved until stirred, Bacot brings a distinctive edge to her creative endeavors.
