Film Director

After years of casually being Ask The Hoff to friends and friends of friends I decided to share my knowledge and discoveries of London and beyond. 

Amanda Eliasson is a Swedish animation director based in London. Her work place primary interest in hand generated processes. She recently graduated with an MA in animation from the Royal College of Art, London. Now she’s a freelance animation director in the UK. “Since I started animating I’ve developed an interest in making flat images transport the viewer into a three dimensional space. I would say my style is playful and naive in contrast to the difficult social subjects I often address in my films”.
