Thanks for stopping by! My name is Fabian and I am a director at Cartoon Saloon.

For the past 25 years I have been involved with many of the Saloon's best known movies and TV-shows:

​​

I was Animation Director on three of Cartoon Saloon's Oscar-nominated feature films,

namely 'Song Of The Sea', 'The Breadwinner', and 'The Secret Of Kells'.

​​

I was co-director of the Annie Award-winning short film 'There's a monster in my kitchen'  alongside Tomm Moore.

I also served as Assistant Director on the feature films 'My Father's Dragon' and 'Song Of The Sea'.

In 2021 I was honoured with an Irish Animation Award as 'Best Director of an Animated Series' 

for the Nickelodeon show 'Dorg Van Dango', which I created with Nora Twomey.

Recently I wrapped co-directing Nuria Blanco's TV-show 'Silly Sundays' for RTE and HBO Max.​

Currently I am Assistant Director on an upcoming feature film at Cartoon Saloon.

I have represented the studio at events such as Annecy, Cartoon Forum, FMX, Fantoche, We are Playgrounds,

Spark, Monstra, or Shanghai Film Festival, facilitating Making-of presentations, workshops, talks, and jury panels.​

​​​​

Besides my work I enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge with students:

Since 2010  I have been a seasonal guest teacher at colleges such as The Animation Workshop in Denmark

(2010 - 2017)  or at Filmakademie Ludwigsburg in Germany (2022 - 2025).

​​​

I am a member of the European Film Academy and of the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

​​​

We work in an amazing medium!  I'm grateful to have collaborated with so many interesting people over the years.​
