He is the creator of many animated films, including It’s Such a Beautiful Day, World of Tomorrow, The Meaning of Life, and Rejected.

Personally, I like his original style, the fact that he is not afraid to use classical music and mix real and painted scenes.
The meaning of life (2005)
Bill’s story (Trilogy)
This is a story about Bill, who has some troubles with his memory.
Author explores some existentialism and philosophy topics and uses a lot of dark humor while showing us a life of the main character.
Everything will be ok (2006)
Also, you should definitely watch his last animation movie - World of Tomorrow, which I’ve mentioned here.
