    paper Radical Claws

    Radical Claws is a 2D animated short student film. This action comedy follows the trouble making, skateboarding cat, Claws in his epic faceoff against the angry wizard who catches him vandalizing his home.

    I pitched the idea for Radical Claws and recruited and led a team of two other animators to work on the project. As the director, I organized regular meetings and delegated tasks to ensure the project was meeting deadlines and standards.

    Radical Claws was awarded Best Student Animation USA by Alternative Film Festival and was nominated for Best Student Animation by Couch Film Festival. It was also selected to screen at Buffalo International Film Festival.
