MONSTERSINFONIE
Animated Short (2012)
If you’re brave and really show them who’s the boss, your monsters can become a really great orchestra.
"A Little Animated Short with an excellent sense of timing and an encouraging message." - FBW
Monstersinfonie was created within three intense weeks full of passion, love, friendship, fearlessness and work (also some sleepless nights of course) I wanted to catch all those emotions into a movie that can also be enjoyed by the youngest ones, by showing how wonderfull friends you can find if you once let go of your fears. I'm very proud that this piece of traditional animation - pencil on paper - is enjoyed by many children and their families. Monstersinfonie is used in several Preschools as a part of their education program for teaching children how to cope with their fears.
