Dave Edwardz
Dave Edwardz is an Australian filmmaker that is well versed in both live-action and animation forms. He has written and directed several short films that have screened at some of the most prestigious festivals around the world, including Clermont-Ferrand in France. His work often combines the fantastic with the domestic, and explores the amorphous nature of the human relationships that bind us together. He has over a decade’s experience in the animation/VFX industry, but has since transitioned to live-action filmmaking after completing an MSA in Directing at the Australian, Film, Television & Radio School (AFTRS). His animation credits include HAPPY FEET 2, FURY ROAD, GODS OF EGYPT and THE LEGO MOVIE. Dave is currently working on a feature film adaptation of THE TROPHY THIEF.
