Biography

 

Saul is part of a BAFTA nominated directing duo with Karni Arieli. Saul studied art and music and is a self-taught 3D animator and character designer. They like to create what they call “casual fantasy”, a place where beautiful photography and film can meet animation and magical elements. They love a good juicy visual and an emotional, gripping story. In 2010 Karni & Saul showcased their short film ” Turning” , made with BBC, a story of a magical afternoon with a boy and three huge birds, which then went onto feature at festivals worldwide, and was nominated for a BAFTA in 2011. Their latest film Wild Summon was Selected for Cannes and nominated for a BAFTA 2024 for Best Short
