Nexus Studios’ newest signing, Manshen Lo, re-teams with stable-mate Nicolas Ménard to direct this utopian animated brand film for revered British architecture firm Foster & Partners.
“The dream-like film illustrates effortless harmony between architecture and the natural world, promoting a sustainable approach in architecture and illustrating hypothetical buildings that leave no environmental trace.”
Lo previously collaborated with Ménard on a commission from Channel 4 called “Wednesday with Goddard” which appeared in Stash 123 and won Best Animated Short at SXSW.
