Career
After graduating, Overtoom attended Pasadena’s yearly Animation Celebration where his feature film No Parachute caught the attention of the American producer Mike Girard. Girard hired Overtoom onto Nickelodeon’s The Angry Beavers where he worked as an Animation Timer.
Overtoom moved as an animation director over to another Nickelodeon series, SpongeBob SquarePants since the show had begun in 1999. Laura Fries of Variety praised his work on the 2002 special SpongeBob's House Party: "Overtoom has created a very stylistic and vivid animated world that smacks of retro pastiche."
On August 2001, Overtoom began the production of his first feature film My Life with Morrissey which he wrote, directed and photographed. The film premiered in 2003. Critic Stephen Dalton of The Times, in a positive review, wrote that "[B]ehind its high-camp, irreverent tone, Overtoom's film is clearly a twisted tribute." The film won the Audience Award at the 2003 Black Point Film Festival in Wisconsin.
In 2009, Overtoom directed the 2009 animated short film All in the Bunker.
Overtoom has also served as an animation timer on Family Guy episodes, a sheet timer for The Mighty B! and as an animation timer on the Disney Channel animated series Phineas and Ferb. He is now the supervising animation director on the Disney animated series Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer.
