Director Biography - Jorge Morais Valle

Jorge Morais ,independent filmmaker and artist hailing from Vigo, Spain. His artistic journey began at a young age, deeply rooted in various disciplines including drawing, painting, and sculpture, with a particular emphasis on sculpture, which he has naturally excelled in from early on.
At the forefront of the graffiti and mural painting scenes, Jorge developed a distinctive style that quickly garnered the attention of commercial brands, enabling him to undertake both artistic and advertising projects. His innovative approach soon led him beyond traditional canvases; he ventured into the realms of decoration and stage design for theatrical productions, successfully leading teams across Spain and Portugal before even completing his secondary education.
Pursuing his passion for Fine Arts, Jorge explored diverse professional avenues, intertwining his expertise in scenography, painting, and illustration throughout Galicia and Portugal. This exploration culminated in his involvement in various projects, art exhibitions, and advertising campaigns. As a founding leader of New Order Productions, a collective of emerging artists, he gained invaluable insights into artistic expression and team leadership—experiences that bolstered his confidence to delve into animation following his graduation from the Faculty of Fine Arts.
In 2010, Jorge made a significant mark in the animation industry with the release of The Painter of Skies, his inaugural animated short film, which served as the culmination of his Master’s degree in animation. The film achieved remarkable acclaim, being selected for over 300 festivals and winning 125 awards worldwide, establishing Jorge as a prominent figure in the field.
Following this milestone, he embarked on a series of enriching journeys across studios and production companies in Portugal, England, Italy, and ultimately Germany. This phase allowed him to diversify his skills and deepen his expertise in various aspects of production, particularly in animation and production design, thus shaping Jorge Morais into a multifaceted artist poised to continue making significant contributions to the world of film and art.

Director Statement

I believe that animation has the power to transcend boundaries and connect people on a deeper level. Through my work, I aim to explore complex themes and emotions that resonate with viewers of all ages. I am committed to bringing diverse voices and perspectives to the forefront, and using the medium of animation to spark conversation and foster empathy.

I believe that animation is a powerful tool for storytelling, and I strive to push the boundaries of what is possible in the medium. I am constantly seeking new ways to innovate and challenge myself creatively, in order to create work that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. My goal is to create animation that not only entertains, but also leaves a lasting impact on its audience, challenging them to think critically and feel deeply.

I am dedicated to creating stories that are inclusive, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. I strive to create characters that are diverse, complex, and authentically represented. I believe that by centering the stories of underrepresented communities, we can create a more inclusive and empathetic world.

Above all, I aspire to create animation that is meaningful, inspiring, and memorable. I am committed to using my platform as a filmmaker to shine a light on important and often overlooked stories, and to create work that has a lasting impact. Through my animation projects, I hope to inspire others to think, feel, and connect with each other in a deeper and more meaningful way.
