Chewy Temel
Director/Founder
I have always been driven by creativity. With a foundation in animation, I contributed to feature films, promotional ads, and website graphics as a versatile 3D generalist and animator. However, it was the power of storytelling that truly captured my imagination, leading me to explore the world of film production. Today, I combine technical expertise with a storyteller's heart, crafting visuals that captivate audiences and narratives that leave a lasting impact.
