Together, Burnett and Levin also co-wrote and co-directed the prequel film 'Craig Before the Creek' (2023). Before creating his own series, Burnett was a key creative force on "Steven Universe" (2013–2018). As a senior writer and story editor, he helped develop the story for nearly 50 episodes and edited scripts for more than 50, working closely with the storyboard artists during pitches to refine Rebecca Sugar’s vision for the show. He and Levin left Steven Universe after "Craig of the Creek" was greenlit, but returned to co-write the story for 'Steven Universe: The Movie'…
