Better to be gaudy than boring.
Chadai is an artist and animator with a deep appreciation for animation as a unique cinematic medium, one that often transcends the constraints of live-action by unlocking creative possibilities beyond the laws of physics or typical rules of reality.
A self-proclaimed "genre girlie," Chadai loves horror and westerns, drawing inspiration from these styles to craft emotionally resonant narratives. Her work is driven by a desire to explore themes of pain and suffering through animation, balanced by moments of profound tenderness and vulnerability. Chadai's films often delve into the complexities of loneliness, grief, depression, and anxiety, while also embracing the transformative power of love.
