Biographical Text

Andre Quek (Singapore) is a filmmaker who specialises in 2D hand-drawn animation. Quek graduated with honours from the School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University (2014), and co-founded Finding Pictures in 2018, an animation studio in Singapore. He draws inspiration from all walks of life, believing that abstracting the details of reality enlivens his animations. Quek’s film Princess has been screened at over 50 international film festivals, winning multiple awards for best animation short film, including Best Animation Award at the National Youth Film Awards (NYFA) 2015, and Gold award in the Crowbar Awards 2015. He has since focused on directing commercial shorts and produced Automatonomy (2017) that won Best Animation at NYFA 2019.
