About the director(s)
Tobias Sodeikat, Malte Pell, Jonas Potthoff
Tobias Sodeikat, Malte Pell and Jonas Potthoff are among the first VFX students at the University of Television and Film Munich. The three started their studies in 2020, with 'Sleep Tight' being their first fully animated short film. They come from different regions of Germany - Bavaria, Mecklenburg Western Pomerania and North Rhine-Westphalia - and went through different types of education. But they all made short films from an early age and knew that this was their vocation. All share the same passion for storytelling and worldbuilding through visuals, with a focus on Animation and VFX.
