Lucas Zanotto finds his origin in Milan where he graduated in product- and graphic design. After his study he worked for different international design studios, during this period of time he slowly grew more and more interest in directing.

He is an motion designer who loves to mix different media and is always experimenting and exploring new ways of creating animations. What is key for Lucas Zanotto is that his work feels very modern and analogue at the same time that has to do with the way he combines classic animation and digital media.

In Cannes his work received a Golden Design Lion and he got rewarded Gold at the Promax International, the HAFF, the ITFS and also at the Ottawa Animation Film Festival.

John Christian is a versatile director and artist who goes under the name ‘I saw John first’ is based in London and Oslo and is also represented respectively by Strangebeast (UK) and Animasjonsdepartment (Norway).

After he graduated BA in Moving Image at Central St. Martins, John has continued to play and educate himself. He grew up in rural Asker in Norway and still he gets his inspiration from long aimless and self-entertained walks. These walks usually result in sketchbooks filled with odd ideas.

This odness and aimlessness is also very present in his work because there is some type of restless progression which comes in all different type of mediums and techniques he works with. Be it live action, stop motion, compositing, puppetry, prop making and 2D animation.

Greg Barth comes from Geneva, Switzerland and is currently based in London. He makes boundary pushing films that are constantly surprising and mind blowingly executed which has to do that he builds life sets that are so immaculate that they hardly seem real.

Greg might start with a simple idea, but he takes that idea and pushes it as far as the form will allow, taking the viewer to places they have genuinely never been before.

Therefore it’s not odd that there is a list of awards and nominations. Most recently he won the Graphite Pencil at the D&AD (Hello Play 360) in 2016 and a first place (Fortunes) at the Young Directors Awards in Cannes 2014.
