Pascal Floerks (DE), born 1982 in Worms, discovered his passion for animation early on, making his first films as a child. After successful completion of a media management degree at the Business and Information Technology School Iserlohn, he wanted to explore the creative side of media production and so decided to continue his education at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. He gained plentiful experience as a character TD on numerous student projects and also professionally at Blue Sky Studios in the US. Back home in Germany, he has contributed to a multitude of projects for studios such as Polynoid, Woodblock and Studio Soi, most recently as lead character TD on the Oscar-nominated fi lm Room on the Broom. In March 2014, Pascal concluded his studies at the Filmakademie with the completion of his film Bär.
