Hi, I'm Fabian.

I work as a director at Cartoon Saloon.

For the past 26 years I have been involved with most of the Saloon's best known movies and TV-shows:

​​

I was Animation Director on the 3 Academy Award nominated films 'Song Of The Sea', 'The Breadwinner', and 'The Secret Of Kells'.

​​

I was Co-Director of the feature films 'My Father's Dragon' and 'Song Of The Sea',

Co-Director of the Annie award winning short film 'There's a monster in my kitchen' (alongside Tomm Moore),

Co-creator and Director of the TV-show 'Dorg Van Dango', and Co-Director of 'Silly Sundays'.

In 2021 I received an Irish Animation Award as 'Best Director of an Animated Series' for Dorg Van Dango.​​

Currently I am Assistant Director on an exciting upcoming feature film at Cartoon Saloon. 

I love being the connective tissue between departments.

I've represented the studio at international events such as Annecy, Cartoon Forum, FMX, Fantoche,

Spark, Monstra, We are Playgrounds, or Shanghai Film Festival, often facilitating presentations and panels.

​​​​​

Besides my work I enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge with students.

I've taught at colleges such as The Animation Workshop in Denmark (2010 - 2017) 

and Animationsinstitut Ludwigsburg in Germany (2022 - present).

​​​​

I am a member of the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and of the European Film Academy.

​​​​

We work in an amazing medium...and I'm grateful to have collaborated with so many interesting people over the years!​
