Filmmaker Statement

I wrote the script for "The Boy Who Cheated Death" in late 2023. It's a story about a boy who tries to hide his dying mother from Death, a heart-wrenching story in an universe full of imagination seen through the lens of an 8 year-old. I had a vision to make this film using many techniques: 2D animation, 3D animation, stopmotion... to blend all my knowledges about animation into one cinematic piece. The imagination of the boy is so real that it is palpable: that is why it's necessary to use stopmotion with tactile materials. My wonderful team of 40 artists, all experts in their respective fields, have helped me achieve this vision with lots of passion and high craftsmanship.
