Early life and education
Osborne grew up in the Cincinnati suburb of Green Township, went to The Our Lady of the Visitation School (Cincinnati) for middle school, and graduated from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati in 1999. He earned a degree in computer animation from the Ringling College of Art and Design in 2003.
Career
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).
Osborne's wife, also worked on the movie "Frozen"
Osborne 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.
Osbourne is currently serving as animation director for the ABC comedy series Imaginary Mary (which he co-created alongside The Goldbergs creator Adam F. Goldberg). He is also currently directing the cinematic adaptations of Noelle Stevenson's online comic Nimona and Paul Pope's graphic novel Battling Boy.
