I am a playwright, screenwriter, and animator of stop motion films. A penchant for tales of imagination and lost times. Trying to lose as little time as possible. The animations use older school stop motion techniques (hand built armatures, puppets, and sets--with a minimum of rigs and digital magic). It's a one person production company.
