Presenting the first Animation One To One Podcast with Erick Oh, director of Opera, a film currently competing for Best Animated Short at the 93rd Academy Awards.
Having worked extensively for Pixar before recently leaving and collaborating with Tonko House, Oh's film Opera has been treating audiences to an immersive, cyclical view of society. It's a film that needs to be experienced and enjoyed on the biggest screen possible as it visually brings together the excess and drama of renaissance masterpieces alongside the technical brilliance that can only be achieved in animation.
