Tor Fruergaard
I have been drawing comics and crazy monsters my entire childhood, my love for movies started with movies like alien, Indiana Jones, Star wars, Terminator and so on. I am a great fan of genre films and everything that tells a good story with an artistic aproach.
I have worked professionally with illustration, animation, design and storytelling for more than ten years. I began directing music videos and animated short films, and in 2005 I made my biggest project to date, Zombiewestern - It Came From the West.
In 2010 I graduated from the Danish National Film School in Copenhagen, where I directed several animated short films and computer games.
My graduation film Venus has been on several festivals around the world including Slamdance, Annecy Animation Festival, Chicago Filmfestival, L.A. Film Festival and many more.
