EDUCATOR + STORYTELLER
As an educator and artist Roy is passionate about creating immersive narratives that bring an experience to life and inspire empathy while dissolving barriers to understanding. Wisdom of the heart and knowledge of the mind join with a passion for technology and pushing the boundaries of what can be.
From building the hyperlapse robot used to capture the moving timelapses in Lake of Dreams, to challenging his students to think “Beyond the Screen,” Roy creates tools for the imagination and translates technology and the technical challenges of production into an adventure into the imagination.
