PES (director)

PES (born Adam Pesapane, May 26, 1973) is a director and animator of numerous short films and commercials. He is currently in development on his first feature film, a movie based on the Garbage Pail Kids franchise.

Receiving a B.A. in English Literature at the University of Virginia, PES migrated to film as a storytelling medium. His use of everyday objects and stop-motion animation to create original material is instantly recognizable. His work has been recognized in the United States and internationally, especially the short films "Roof Sex", "KaBoom!", "Game Over", "Western Spaghetti", and "Fresh Guacamole". In November 2012, "Fresh Guacamole" was shortlisted for the Oscar in the category of Best Animated Short Film. An early influence on PES's animation style is the work of Czech surrealist Jan Švankmajer.
