A medium-agnostic director, he finds the perfect combination of techniques to unlock a narrative and make it shine. From stop motion to 3D to live action, each piece requires a unique recipe to bring it to life. His award-winning shorts “12 Inch Pianist” and “99¢ Pizza” exist within tactile worlds that are brimming with detail and bursting with color. Physical props and classic stop motion techniques add another layer of tactility to the films.
