Available to hire
Hi, I’m Carla Pereira, a stop‑motion animator and filmmaker based in Valencia. I’ve worked on award‑winning projects including Isle of Dogs and I’ve directed, produced and animated short films that bring characters to life through puppetry, set design and cut‑out animation. I love collaborating with festivals and studios around the world and I’m always eager to tell stories through hands‑on craft and playful visuals.
My work spans animation, model making and screenwriting, with experience across live action integration, stage productions and teaching. I’m passionate about creating vivid, expressive characters and bringing imaginative ideas to life through meticulous craftsmanship and collaborative storytelling.
