CURRENT MISSION

Working on short animation film

ABOUT ME

Hola, I'm Dotan. I'm moving back to Israel after 3 years in the cold north, Montreal. I'm an animator, illustrator and a graphic designer and currently working on a short film.

I enjoy watching films and reading. Appreciate a good chill outside in parks and cafés and love any kind of beach and exploring places on bike.

When I travel I don't like to have plans but to take long leisure walks and see where it leads me.

PHILOSOPHY

Grab it while it's hard.
