My body of work, as a narrative filmmaker and animator, is not yet the final product, but a process toward the bigger picture—an expression of basic human emotions and an experience of depth and warmth, created and designed for the people, not for robots, nor for elitist niche groups. Art belongs to the people. There is more to stories and emotions than art created for art’s sake and the sterile spaces of its presentation. A gentle persuasion of the heart, one’s spiriting away to another life and another world—this is the power of art that I seek.
