Director Bios:
Mark Chavez is an animation industry veteran and educator who has worked at major animation (DreamWorks)and VFX studios on award-winning feature films and innovative interactive titles. He has several award-winning animated short films that have screened at numerous international film festivals. As an academic and founding faculty for the animation area at Nanyang Technological University Singapore's School of Art, Design & Media, he established the digital animation area of the school where numerous students have gone on to successful careers in animation.
Ina Conradi is an award-winning new media artist, currently Associate Professor at the Nanyang Technological University Singapore, School of Art, Design and Media. Ina’s works uniquely span several disciplines: digital painting, experimental S3D animation, installation, and most recently media architecture. Ina’s explorations redefine the wide spectrum of what painting can be. Her ‘paintings’ are often “unframed” and animated as cine-installation in a gallery, infinitely expanding within variable display immersive platforms such as for example Deep Space 8K, 360 screens, urban screens, or are “re-framed” back into cinema projection.
