Director's BIO
After studying animation and painting at Harvard College, Lily Fang worked as a 3d animator at a motion graphics company in New York. She then moved to London to attend the Royal College of Art, where she further developed as a storyteller through embracing the art of stop frame puppet animation. Her films capture the childhood sense of awe through re-imagined mythic imagery and densely textured alien landscapes.
