Insightful, honest, and wickedly clever, each moment in Travis Wood’s work is purposeful and packs a punch. He experiments with storytelling in its many forms, utilizing the power of truth to guide his process. His films often ride the line between fiction and non-fiction using a hybrid of animation and live-action. The filmmaker hails from Minneapolis and currently resides in Brooklyn. His short films have been selected for multiple Vimeo Staff Picks, SXSW, Rooftop Films, an NY EMMY award, and featured on NoBudge, Booooooom, and Directors Notes.
