Partizan Studio's make new signing

New Partizan Studios' signing, Marlies van der Wel, is an animator and illustrator. 

She started in 2007, working on both commercial and personal projects and her short films have been recognised internationally at prestigious festivals such as Berlinale, Toronto Film Festival and Sundance, to name a few. Van der Wel’s illustrations are the result of a painstaking collage process in which she weaves drawings, textures and random objects together and her creations are brought to life in a technique that she calls ‘digital cut-out animation’ enabling her to create humour with beautiful, detailed images animated with minimal but natural movement.

“We are delighted to sign Marlies to the Studio roster - her rich, textural visual style and emotional human storytelling are so apparent," said Duncan Gaman, EP of Animation. "She has picked up so much award recognition over the last few years for her films on the international festival circuit. With Marlies being part of the film community we are hoping to apply her storytelling and visual craft to the commercial filming world”.
