Academy Award-nominated director and animator Troy Quane discusses his collaboration with A.R.C, his upcoming career endeavours, and the continued evolution of his creative vision in an exclusive interview with Little Black Book. Read the full article on LBB here.

Troy reflects on his remarkable career journey, his personal artistic growth and his creative tendencies. "I would say that I’m always looking for something that has a little bite to it, a little bit of edge, a little darkness to balance the light - but still have it be accessible".

"Making ‘Nimona’ was a bumpy ride to say the least. To go from a situation where the movie isn't going to get made, right through to the heights of what our industry can honour a film with is the comeback story of the decade!" shares Troy regarding the Oscar Nomination. "I also hope it sends a message to the studios that audiences are not only ready for, but demanding unique, original, diverse and inclusive stories."

He also discusses the forthcoming stages of his career and reflects on the changes ahead. "I’m hoping that my experience in high-end long-form film will bring a sense of scale and narrative to my short-form work. To be able to boil down the bigger idea to its most condensed form."

Nimona was originated by N.D Stevenson, EP on A.R.C's recent musical short Pacemaker, and premiered at Annecy Film Festival 2023. Nimona is available to stream on Netflix. For more of Troy's work, head over to his directors page here.
