Director Biography - Wiam Botma
I’m Wiam Botma a continually curious artist born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and currently residing in Cape Town, South Africa. I chose animation as it has endless bounds in what can be created, how far it can reach across different spectrums of media and the pure joy it can bring. My vision for this film was to do something different from those that came before, to create a group dynamic in this film of iron sharping iron in each of our skills and finally top have fun along the way with the team.
