Welcome
A long time ago when I was six I made my first animation flip book and ever since have I been captured by the magic of giving life to dead objects. I soon moved on from the flip books and at eight I borrowed my granddaddy's video camera to create my first puppet animation with my Lego men. Since then, numerous films were made on the floor in my bedroom, starring anyone from prehistoric dinosaurs to the ninja turtles.
The films I make today are also animations, created by hand with traditional animation techniques. There is a distinctive style to all of my films, which comes from the handmade approach, and the medium itself always play a big role in pushing the theme and story forward.
I am only making films because I enjoy it, I find it very fulfilling to see my projects take shape from the basic idea and develop into a finished film. Being able to have my short films screened and seen by others is a bonus, since I have found animation to be a great medium for expressing myself and issues I feel strongly about. Starting with original stories and concepts my films are always evolving out of stages of experimentation so that the finished short film will be a unique product of the whole process itself.
Yours sincerely,
