\nThe animator Mattias M\u00e4lk (born 1987) made his directing debut at Eesti Joonisfilm studio back in 2014 with the film noir monster movie ‘Northern Starfish’ where a diver-turned-detective has trouble with the stars and killer sea creatures.<\/p>\n

Horror and comedy further crept into Mattias’ second animated short film ‘Strawberry Eaters’ (2018) where once again creatures get mixed up in love affairs.<\/p>\n

Likewise, ‘Operation LARP’ (2023) kicks off with an affair and is Mattias’ most comedic animated short film to date as a silly mix-up leads soldiers to clash with larpers.<\/p>\n

Mattias has also directed folklore-inspired animated short films ‘The Birth of Bears’ and ‘How a Girl Was Wed Three Times’ (2016) that tell fantastical tales from the Udmurt and Mari cultures.<\/p>\n

Besides writing screenplays and directing, Mattias has worked at the studio as an inbetweener, animator, compositor and 3D artist.<\/p>\n
