Bachelor of Media Arts majoring in animation. His films use imagery and language
derived from the subconscious; developed through writing exercises and automatic
drawing. He often creates settings within which a character’s self-expression or
action is challenged and thwarted, resulting in comic, violent and poetic spectacles.
