Efram Potelle
Efram's love of storytelling and visual wizardry caught fire as a ten year old kid when he began making cell-animation and claymation films. Three years later he won the top award at a Maine film festival with his first live action short, a super-8 science fiction adventure. After producing numerous independent shorts and features over the next fifteen years, he ultimately won the Project Greenlight directing contest, leading him to co-direct Miramax's "The Battle of Shaker Heights" starring Shia LaBeouf. Since then he's he continued making films, honing his skills as a visual effects artist and supervisor, having been recently nominated for the 2010 VES Awards. Presently he's developing original intellectual properties for the cross-media and the feature film marketplace.
