THOMAS STELLMACH ANIMATION
This short film was my first exercise of my studies, my first cartoon film ever and an attempt at combining cartoon animation with pixilation.
TEE HEE is part of my Animated Film Show – an infotainment programme in which I present my award-winning animated films and share insights into their creation.
Please contact me if you would like to request a screener or book the film for cinema, festival or cultural screenings.
