Thanks for stopping by! My name is Fabian and I am a director at Cartoon Saloon.

For the past 25 years I have been involved with most of the Saloon's best known movies and TV-shows:

​​

I was Animation Director / Supervisor on the Academy Award nominated films 

'Song Of The Sea', 'The Breadwinner', and 'The Secret Of Kells'.

​​

I was Assistant Director on the feature films 'My Father's Dragon' and 'Song Of The Sea' ,

and co-director of the Annie Award-winning short film 'There's a monster in my kitchen' alongside Tomm Moore.

In 2021 I was honoured with an Irish Animation Award as Best Director of an Animated Series

for 'Dorg Van Dango', a Nickelodeon show I created with Nora Twomey.

Recently I wrapped co-directing 'Silly Sundays', a new TV-show created by Nuria Blanco for RTE and HBO Max.

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

I have represented the studio at international events such as Annecy, Cartoon Forum, FMX, Fantoche, Spark, Monstra,

We are Playgrounds, or Shanghai Film Festival, facilitating making-of presentations, workshops, juries, and panels.​

​​​​

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

Since 2010  I have been a seasonal guest teacher at colleges such as The Animation Workshop in Denmark

(2010 - 2017)  or at Animationsinstitut Ludwigsburg in Germany (2022 - present).

​​​

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

​​​

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