Hi, I'm Keanu Hoi, an animator and filmmaker

Keanu Hoi is an animation lecturer and PhD candidate studying how animated previsualisation impacts collaboration, creativity and authorship. His journey with animation began as a child when he underwent alternative dyslexia treatment, which involved modelling hundreds of clay dioramas that told stories about the words he struggled with reading and writing. This led to him making claymations with the same clay used in his treatment. Later he attended the Australian Film Television and Radio School in Sydney, where he began to blend his love for all kinds of filmmaking processes, both animated and live-action. His work has premiered on Adult Swim (USA), MUBI, CineQuest (California), St Kilda Film Festival, Melbourne International Animation Festival, Revelation Perth International Film Festival, Sydney Fringe Festival and Soft Centre (Australia) & Cinanima (Portugal), among others.
