The Great Gust!
Grandfathers always have stories. But this time — this story is about a grandfather. Not mine… or maybe it is? Honestly, I’m not quite sure. What I do know is he absolutely adores his grandson—who somehow manages to land them both in the most ridiculous situations. They're a lovable mess, and I’m having an absolute blast bringing this chaotic duo to life.
This short film draws big inspiration from the slapstick charm of Laurel & Hardy and the wild, off-the-wall energy of a Tex Avery cartoon. It’s been my passion project for almost a year now. The story’s written, the gags are storyboarded, voice work (shoutout to Gianni Sallesse!) and music (thanks, Michael Ferguson!) are in place, and now I’m deep into production. That means sketching, animating, building backgrounds—yep, it’s a one-person animation shop over here.
I’m all about fun stories, lovable characters, and animation that makes you smile. This film is my tribute—to grandpas everywhere, and to the timeless cartoons and classic comedies that made me fall in love with storytelling in the first place.
Mr. Spherical (Telos Media)
I am currently working as an animator at Telos Media for their hit channel, Mr. Spherical (1.94 million subscribers) where I get to make viral, funny and historical cartoons (right up my alley!
For this cartoon, I storyboarded, illustrated and animated the whole cartoon. A lot of work, yes, but a lot of fun!

Green Grass
A film by Mike Greco, Green Grass, was completed in June 2020.
Mike approached me to make his dream film come to life. I designed the sets, characters and made the storyboards, and under his direction, I made the film a reality with a small team of talented people.
Green Grass would go on to be named an Official Selection to ten interntional Academy Award-qualifing film festivals (among many more), even won a few notable awards, and aired nationwide in Canada on CBC Television.
Magical Lantern
This labour of love was my thesis film for TMU. Was a 20 minute stop motion film made by a small team way too overambitions. Yes. But it probably taught me the most about setting realistic expectations and what being pushed to the utmost limit feels like. It was hard work, but this project remains my first short film that I can look at with pride. The team worked tirelessly to make this film a reality, and for that I am extremely grateful.
The film went on to win numerous awards and recognitions.
