"I’m originally from Nottinghamshire and I’ve worked in animation for about 10 years now. I’ve completed a Masters in Directing Animation at the National Film and Television School where I made several short animated films including Max (2018) Dots (2018) Let Her Rip (2019) and my multi-award winning short, Something Borrowed (2020). I’ve also just finished Odd One Out (2023) a short funded by the BFI that my team and I are about to unleash out into the festival circuit! For the last couple of years I’ve been animating full time on BBC’s JoJo & Gran Gran in Bristol."

I’m Maxwell Racz, a lead 2D character animator in Vancouver, BC. I’ve spent most of the last decade working in both feature film and television for clients such as Disney, DreamWorks, and Hasbro. My favourite part about working in animation is the ability to bring international audiences together through diverse stories – even if we don’t share a language, animation makes it possible to communicate with anyone!

I have worked in the industry for over a decade. I focus on the development of systems to help streamline the animation process. These processes help to solve animation issues and achieve performances to tell stories as clearly and effectively as possible. I have developed a variety of rig setups ranging from extremely complex to fast and streamlined. I have directed multiple episodes for television and worked across departments throughout the entirety of production.
