Update: The Project Was Successfully Funded
Carlos started without knowing too much about art and was going to become a lawyer instead of an animator, but he decided in the end to be serious about art and decided to fly to the US to learn about it. He started out in the 90’s and worked with many amazing people in the animation industry and learned a lot in his path, he’s doing a lot of work not related to animation in the last years but now he’s coming back strong with his own project, a dark animation called La Noria.
