  • My work is to tell stories, to spread concepts and ideas. 

    I love creating new worlds, new situations and new characters, and I always aim at delivering my own, original message – although I understand that ‘perfection’ is an impossible task.

    In my opinion, films can be a very exciting way to talk to people: they can be very visceral, direct and emotional, or very cerebral and grandiose, almost inscrutable. 

    Therefore, working in the animation field is an amazing experience; every day learning something new and interesting, every day failing a bit and achieving a bit. I guess that’s what I will be doing for the rest of my life, and I love it!
