  • Note
    Adriana Monteforte Lahera is an animator, film director and Royal College of Art graduate from Mexico City. Fascinated by the complexity, the mystery and the contrasts easily found in Mexican culture and society, she wishes to use her animated work to speak about her country and its people in a non-stereotyped way, and to address the mystical and magical found in everyday life. Although she mainly focuses on digital 2D animation, she has worked professionally in the fields of graphic design, traditional animation, motion graphics and 3D. She has worked commercially for hotels, Youtube channels, the Department of Mexican Tourism and brands such as Milky Way, TED, AT&T, Airbnb, Netflix and the WWF. She has a passion for books, dogs, gouache painting and obscure Japanese animation
