History, Mystery & Odyssey has been picking up prizes at international doc festivals and screening at top international animation fests including Annecy, Hiroshima and Ottawa. The feature length documentary, directed and artfully edited by Martin Cooper and beautifully shot by Adrian "Uchujin" Storey, explores the lives and work of 6 award-winning and internationally renowned Portland independent animators. Reflecting a variety of techniques, from direct animation and hand-drawn stop-motion, through 3D models, clay-painting, computer generated imagery to AI, the work is a testament to innovative vision.
