We are thrilled to introduce our new director, Mai Vu, to the team! Hailing from Sai Gon, Vietnam, Mai is an animator and animation director with a passion for stop-motion animation. She began her journey in 2010 by creating short films using the stop-motion technique, and from there, she progressed to writing, animating, and directing in the beloved stop-motion series, Say Hi To Pencil, which ran from 2012 to 2019.
Mai’s talent and dedication to her craft have not gone unnoticed, as she has worked on a range of commercials for high-profile clients such as Vietnam Airline, Perfetti Van Melle, Clé de Peau, Pepsi, Forbes, and more since 2016. Her work has always been well-received, which led her to further her studies and pursue a Master’s degree in Directing Animation at the National Film and Television School in the UK, where she honed her skills and gained a fresh perspective on storytelling. Mai’s latest achievement is the screening of her film ‘Spring Roll Dream’ at the prestigious La CineF, Cannes Film Festival 2022, which is a testament to her talent and hard work. With her extensive experience and unique vision, Mai is set to bring a fresh perspective to our team and help us create exceptional work that stands out from the crowd. We are thrilled to have her on board and cannot wait to see what she brings to the table!
