Osborne's directorial debut was the short film
Feast (2014), about a
Boston Terrier who loves getting fed junk food. The short was produced by
Walt Disney Animation Studios and premiered in front of
Big Hero 6 (2014) in theaters. It won the
Academy Award for
Best Animated Short Film in 2015. Osborne had previously worked as an animator on films such as
Wreck-It Ralph (2012) and
Bolt (2008). He directed
Pearl for Google's Spotlight Stories, a short film about the relationship between a father and his daughter. The film is set entirely in a car and shows the decay of the car and the structure of the film reflects the song which plays throughout it. It uses cuts, which were previously unexplored, and over forty sets, which is more than any other of the Google Spotlight shorts. For his work on the film, Osborne was again nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2017. Osborne has been selected by
Paramount Pictures and
Weed Road to direct a film version of the video game
Monument Valley, originally developed by
Ustwo in 2015. In July 2022, it was announced that Osborne would write and direct an adaptation of
The Goon for
Netflix. ==Filmography==
