William Michael "Mike" Hollands (born 10 March 1946) is the creative director and founder of Melbourne-based animation house Act3animation. His best known directorial work, the tragicomedy Piñata, was a nominee at the 2005 Annecy International Animated Film Festival[1] in Annecy, France, the 2005 AFI Awards, for Best Short Animation,[2][3] and won Vancouver's Vidfest 2005.

He was also connected to Deakin University through their motion capture studio, Motion.Lab, with which Act3animation was previously partnered, managing its commercial captures.[4]

Hollands was also an exhibiting painter in his earlier years, and did cover illustrations for various books, including the 1980 Miles Franklin Award winner, The Impersonators,[5] by Jessica Anderson, and 1981's Fly Away Peter,[6] by David Malouf.

As of 2014, Hollands is currently producing a new Act3animation web series entitled Bup & Endo. Created, written and directed by Hollands, episodes are released weekly on the YouTube channel Bup & Endo. The series is described as "an animated series starring two whimsical cartoon characters, Bup and Endo and the other odd characters inhabiting their strange world".[7]
