On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Maya Sorhage:
“I am a Stop Motion animator and fabricator. I like to create whimsical narratives that combine comedy and cuteness for people of all ages. My characters are come in all shapes and sizes but they are usually creatures that just can’t quite get it right.
I was originally inspired by chickens. They are clumsy, they walk funny, and they each have a unique personality. I adopt this towards a lot of my characters and stories to make lighthearted and fun animation content.
Lately , my work is all about bugs! Insects are the little guys on our planet that are essential to life, but socially they are labelled as gross pests. Well, through my thesis film "Flying to the Moon" and accompanying work I am exploring the world from an bugs point of view. ”
This episode was hosted by Sebastian Ospina, a Podcast Host at the Student World Impact Film Festival, and produced by Mark Leschinsky, the Festival Director of the Student World Impact Film Festival.
