BIOGRAPHIE

Jorge Morais Valle is a filmmaker and independent artist originally from Vigo (Spain). From a very young age he has been connected to some of the main artistic disciplines such as drawing, painting and modelling, the latter being the one he has most developed and excelled in a natural way at a very young age. He started very young in the world of graffiti and mural painting, where he soon found a way of expression that brought him to the attention of local commercial brands. He quickly found the opportunity to extend his interests beyond the walls into the world of decoration and scenography, having the opportunity to lead work teams both in Spain and Portugal, even when he had not yet finished school. He combined his Fine Arts degree with the world of scenography and decoration, leading a young group of artists who gave him great knowledge of lighting, plasticity and leadership, qualities that gave him the confidence to enter the world of animation after graduating from the Faculty of Fine Arts. In 2010, he released his first animated short film,''The Painter of Skies'', as a final project for his Master's degree in animation, achieving great national and international recognition, being in the official section of 300 festivals and receiving 125 awards around the world. After this experience he began a cycle of travels to different studios in Portugal, England, Italy and finally Germany, jumping from project to project and where he had the opportunity to deepen his knowledge in different areas of production, especially in production design, modelling and kinematics. As a restless mind, during this period of travels he tried unsuccessfully to set up several animation projects in parallel, which would lead him to move away from independent animation for years. However, at the end of 2015, his desire to believe in animation as the ultimate artistic expression led him to write the first draft of the script for In Half, The shrouded fear.
