STORY DEVELOPMENT
THESEUS

After years of touring, an interplanetary alien rockstar returns to his home planet, only to discover that his body and voice have transformed to such an extent that even his biggest supporter, his brother, can no longer recognize or connect with him.
A Sci-Fi 3D short film in development, dealing with feeling alienated from a place that once was home.

NOMADS
Animation Co-Lead | Story Dev. | Previz | Editor
A loyal pack animal from a nomadic tribe has his courage tested, when taken down a challenging, unfamiliar path by his ailing human.
A 3D short film directed and thought up by Anna Rueskov Schleicher, dealing with the bond between humans and animals. Next to other roles I was part of the Story Development Team.

CLOUD CATCHER
Director | Story Dev. | Animator | Editor
When falling off his Grandfathers Cloudfishing boat a young Cloud Catcher gets the chance to explore his fantastical homeland.
A 2D short film for young children (4-6 year olds) I directed and created with a team of 6 over 4 weeks.

Hello there,
I‘m an artist based in Denmark and I have a deep-rooted passion for character-driven storytelling and animation. My strengths lie in bringing good energy to the studio and I also pride myself on being a quick learner who is always up for a challenge. Whether you have a story you want me to animate or need assistance in developing one, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Have a good one !
