Laura N-Tamara blends digital animation and painted textures seamlessly to create images and films.

Modern renditions of folktales are a big source of inspiration to her.

Her graduation short film from the Royal College of Art “The Witch’s Mask” (2017) was screened internationally and supported by Elf Factory, her most recent film “True Sound Façade” (2020), a mixed media live action dance/animation film, won Best Art/Experimental at San Francisco Dance Film Festival and the Edit Award at Homescreen Movement Festival.

She also works freelance in commercial animation as an animator, clean-up lead, occasional storyboarder and BG painter.

Past experiences include work in advertisement, documentary, installation, music video and narrative shorts. People she’s worked with include Nexus Studios, Neonzoo, Partizan, France TV Slash, University of Liverpool, Barbican x The Smalls, BBC Documentary, NATURE, Channel 4 Random Acts and more.

She is London-based and half-French, half-Indonesian. Sometimes, she carries croissant in her pockets.
