About
Gustaf Lindström is a Swedish-born filmmaker, animator and CG artist. His debut short film Plankton has won multiple awards, including Best Animation at InterFilm Berlin, which qualified it for the 2019 Academy Awards. The short was later developed into the comedy short series Drifters for FX Networks. Black Death, his second short series for FX and Hulu, is currently awaiting release.
By combining ambitious art direction with laid back, conversational comedy, Gustaf creates visually spectacular and strange worlds that somehow still feel relatable and down-to-earth. He finds his inspiration in anything from nature documentaries to medieval manuscripts, and is unafraid of spear-heading new and interesting animation techniques.
