Jesse Rosensweet (Writer, Director)
Jesse Rosensweet belongs to a new wave of storytellers. His narratives are humorous yet dark, quirky yet mature, and he combines his own style with the unique properties of stop-motion animation to create films with universal appeal.
Rosensweet’s first short film, The Stone of Folly, won the Jury Prize for Short Film at Cannes and played at animation and film festivals around the world. He has also directed a number of commercials and music videos, including a stop-motion video for Destiny’s Child. He is currently in production as director on Edison and Leo, a skewed and quirky story about Thomas Edison. It will be Canada’s first stop-motion feature.
Paradise is Rosensweet’s second short animation.
