About
An animated space epic about becoming a father and losing a father in the same moment, and the universality of being a parent.
Impact
With all the turmoil in the world, and simultaneously all the intrigue about the reality of alien life, this project mirrors a refugee story, written by a political refugee who came from Russia as a child, told in a beautiful and non-divisive way.
Progress
I have a killer animatic, mentorship from oscar winning director Peter Ramsey, an original score by Simon Jay and Luke Shrethka (the music directors of Only Murders in the Building), and recorded voice acting from Asher Grodman (Ghosts CBS).
Team
I am an award winning director of the acclaimed animated short "Curpigeon", which premiered at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, and the film "Good Guy with a Pun" which won for best writing at 2024 Seriesfest. I came to the US as a political refugee.
