Year of the pig has been a fun personal project for me. It combines my love of filmmaking and animation. Mixing the two mediums has always been magic to me, and I’m excited to soon share this film with everyone.

We shot the film in April 2025, and it’s been in post-production since. All the visuals are lovingly hand-crafted. There is no generative AI being used here. The art of filmmaking is the process itself. To remove that from your creative journey removes the very essence of what it is to create.

Animation has been a passion of mine since I was very young. I’ve been very lucky to be a part of so many high-profile projects. With this film, I’m excited to put those same passions into my own work and my own story.

I can’t wait to share it with you soon!
