Sascha Ciezata was gifted in many arts (magic, painting, writing)as a
child but focused exclusively on art and animation in his formative
years. He entered USC Film School as an undergraduate in 1998 in hopes
of pursuing a career in live action. After 2 years he dropped out and
entered the industry as a producer's assistant, eventually shifting to
production and post-production. In 2007 he produced his first feature
film MORNING, which premiered at the Seattle International Film
Festival in 2010. That same year Sascha re-discovered his animation
roots when he shot the enormously popular short film "When Lynch Met
Lucas" using his iPhone. Excited by the possibilities these new
technologies afford Sascha is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of
new technology in DIY film making. His stylish brand of animation has
played SXSW and numerous film festivals abroad. He has also animated
the tales of such luminaries as Werner Herzog, Larry David and Bret
Easton Ellis, among others. He is currently at work on his first
hand-drawn animated feature.
