ANIMATION DIRECTOR | ILLUSTRATOR
Fanatic | animated short film, 2026
What happens when a hero blindly pursues his goal, consumed by brutal rivalry? This is a ruthless play on fantasy conventions, where an existential crisis of masculinity proves more dangerous than dungeon monsters. A story of people so deeply attached to their roles that they fail to notice the coming end of the world.
