Not really much to say, I started with animation at the age of 11, making my own silly cartoons in Macromedia Flash 5 and showing them to friends and family. My family also had a really sweet camcorder (a Sony CCD-TRV37 Handycam) that I used on various occasions to make my own unedited home movies. To this day I managed to work in animation, but that's not the only medium I'm interested in. At 19 I began to get really invested in cinema when I attended film school and since then I never stopped watching movies and I think is the only thing I’m passionate about. Which is shocking.
"D.R.U.G" (D.R.O.G.A) was hard to make, but a nice playground to mess around with surreal imagery anchored to a thematic axis (power dynamics and self-destruction), I'd love to see these characters a little more... "animated", they're quite static, the animation is limited, I'm aware of that, but I think the strength relies on the pictures, the colors and an effective build of an oppressive atmosphere. I was pitched by Koison to make the video for their single "D.R.O.G.A" once they saw my animations online, some of those were comedic and others were surreal and creepy, of course the latter was the aesthetic chosen for this MV. I liked working with them, they're funny guys, and they often touch interesting and heavy subject matter in their lyrics.
