Director Eddie White is best known for writing and co-directing 2009.s The Cat Piano, an eight-and-a-half-minute marvel narrated by Nick Cave and shortlisted for best animated short at the Oscars alongside films by Pixar and Aardman.
White and co-director Ari Gibson made the short at The People.s Republic of Animation, the company White founded with high-school friends in Adelaide while studying acting at Flinders University.
The shingle was eventually bought by video game developer Halfbrick Studios (creators of Fruit Ninja), but White had already moved on, in 2012, as the company began to specialise in video games and apps..
.I chose to go freelance, because I just wanted to make films at that stage, and I could see that wasn.t the business model for them,. he said.
White spent a couple of years developing an animated feature with Gibson which never got off the ground, as well as churning out short animations on commission.
