Here a few talented directors bringing these stories to life:
Franz Impler | Influenced by gaming graphics and fascinated by storytelling, Impler’s worlds are fresh out of a semi-unsettling dreamscape– surreal, spatially obscure and entirely unpredictable.
David Gelfand | Toronto-based David Gelfand brings “animated cringe comedy with a hint of Greek tragedy” to life. His 3D characters tackle both the absurd and everyday in relatable, human spaces.
Jess Bianchi | Based in Buenos Aires, Jess Bianchi tells stories of goddesses and warriors through an anime lens. Her bold animations for Nike and Dior highlight her distinctive style and ability to craft powerful, visually striking narratives.
Jimmy Simpson | New York-based animation director Jimmy Simpson blends classic art with modern insights, inspired by skate culture and art history. His unique vision has attracted brands like Lego, Sony Music, and Dropbox.
