about us

ANTON OCTAVIAN

With a degree in sculpture, Anton has been focusing all his creative energy into animation since 2007. He is the creative director of the studio but wherever you read “directed by Anton Octavian” that includes character & background design, 2D animation and rotoscoping. From pre to post-production, he does it all, actually his name should be credited more for but we hate repeating ourselves :). He’s also in charge of festivals so now you know who to contact.

ANDREEA GURBAN

Straight from the world of advertising, she’s a self taught art director with over 8 years of experience and a wide range of skills, from design to 3D and motion graphics, and we’re really not bragging. Really. The dream team was formed in 2013 after she snuck into an afterparty at an animation festival. Andreea is responsible for art direction, creating storyboards, editing and assists with animation whenever she gets a chance.
