  • Marika Herz

    Born in 1990, in Minsk, Belarus. Marika Herz began her career with a strong academic background in Cultural Studies, driven by a passion for World Literature, the Tanakh, Mythology, History of Arts, and Theory of Culture. This foundation paved the way for her creative journey, starting as a children’s writer and later discovering a love for stop-motion animation. Inspired by the traditional papercut technique, she creates a snug and tactile paper universe in her first animated film "Once Upon a Time in Dragonville"…
