My first international writer contract

This happened back in 2010, when I was on the search for a job and decided to test my fate at some point. I sent some CVs to New Zealand, to IT companies as a Technical Writer and my story “Higher than stars” to Japan, Tokyo, applying for International Festival “Story Circus”. I wished to see what God kept for me, which way is mine. As a result of that experiment, I didn’t receive any reply from New Zealand, but… Yes, my story got into Top20 best works of the Tokyo festival. Soon I received a contract from Marza Animation Planet, a branch of famous Sega Company. So, animation didn’t come into my life just out of blue…

In January I received also this wonderful card from Marza Animation Studio. It was so kind of them to send me these seasonal wishes…

Our new animation film "Elixir of Life"

Recently, I and my wife Ira finished working on our new animation film "Elixir of Life". It was a really interesting experience to see how a fairy tale I've written many years ago is coming into reality - slowly, scene by scene, but steady this story of an old alchemist, who received an expected present that changes his life, became visually real... 

By the way, our film has no dialogues - no language limits, the story will be told in the language of your heart. At least we hope so... Just in case you're curious about technical part, this film is a result of our work with Adobe Animate. If you wish to support our small family studio (just me and my wife), please, share the film with your friends. Thanks in advance.
