Career

Pott's films have competed at festivals around the world, including Sundance and SXSW. After working as a writer on the animated television series Adventure Time, Pott developed her own series Summer Camp Island which debuted on Cartoon Network in 2018 and is now shown on HBO Max.

The series was based on a short film by the same name which appeared at Sundance and focuses on an elephant named Oscar and his best friend Hedgehog and their adventures at a magical summer camp.

In November 2021, Pott also joined production studio Hornet and said she hoped to see her work used in fashion and textiles.
