Director Biography - Manuel Lopez

AKA. Manu Mercurial. I’m 27 yr/o. I didn’t pick up a pencil until I was 19. I went through art college thinking I didn’t “need” to draw. I was just avoiding the fact that I sucked at drawing. But at the end of my education I decided to face my fears and try doing what I truly loved the most: 2D animations, like the thousands of hours of 2D I’ve watched through my life. I took that chance and never looked back. I’m still learning and growing, but most importantly I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.

Director Statement

I consider myself a storyteller rather than an 'artist'. My dream is to tell my own stories to the world, hopefully animated!
