I'm an animation director and illustrator hailing from Estonia. I studied fine arts and animation at the Estonian Academy of Arts. I have directed animated short films which have been screened at many international film festivals and won national and international awards. For example, "In the Air" (2009) and "Fatcula" (2016) both won "Animation of the Year" award by Cultural Endowment of Estonia. “In the Air” also won “Best of Fest” at the Melbourne International Animation Festival (2010).
Besides my own short films I have directed music videos, commercials, infomercials, commission works for museums and other types of animated content.
In addition to that, I have been invited to talk about my work in Estonia, Australia, Kosovo and Mexico and I have been mentoring animation students at the Estonian Academy of Arts.

Heston L'abbé - Director

Francisco Lacerda is a Portuguese American writer/director based in Azores, Portugal. He is one of the creators of the midnight screening sensation short films "Dentes e Garras!" and "Dentes e Garras 2" which were both nominated for a Méliès Award on MOTELX and were consequently acquired by Troma Entertainment for distribution. In 2017, Francisco co-wrote and co-directed with Francisco Lopes the short film "Freelancer", which proved to be a success with audiences worldwide and won Best Short Film at the 2018 Horrorvision Film Festival. In the twelfth edition of MOTELX Film Festival the term "Azoresploitation" was coined to describe Francisco's works as a unique sub-genre of Portuguese exploitation/ splatter cinema made only in the Azores Islands and by Azores filmmakers and artists. His latest short film "Karaoke Night", which had its North American premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival, has cemented the term "Azoresploitation" has an actual sub-genre of Portuguese exploitation cinema, making Francisco a pioneer of this genre.
