ROTZBUB, MY FIRST FEATURE FILM AS DIRECTOR

 

I have been directing the film "Rotzbub" for three years, which is the first animated feature film completely made in Austria. Besides the director, I developed tasks as storyboard artist, animation supervisor and animator.  The film brings to life the characters of the austrian cartoonist Manfred Deix; he was the art director, and his work our main reference for the visual design. The story is inspired by Manfred Deix´s own youth, and it is set in a small alpine austrian town in the sixties; actually, it is not just a coming of age story about love and growing up, it is also a mirror of the Austrian society of the time, 20 years after the II World War.
