The Norman Show
An indie pilot for an adult animated comedy series. (22mins)
The Norman Show was created for Gen Z by Gen Z, and is heavily inspired by the sort of shows I watched growing up on the 2000s. It is a love letter to all things brain rot, silly, and also a chaotic reflection towards society as a large.
Based on an childhood game my cousin and I played with her dolls, I was responsible for the characters, designs, script, and directing entry level talent (animators, voice over artists, composers) from all over the globe!

An student project pilot/ short film for a children’s Sci Fi comedy series. (7 mins)
Tensions flare when one of the members upon the Proton Phoenix spaceship is infected by an alien parasite. Suspicions, action, and chaos ensues when the gang have to figure out who is not who they say they are…
Electra the Wonder Girl is another pilot I created for my final year of University. It was a largely solo project, with extra direction in cast, recording, and timeline management.
