An Interview with Pejman Alipour.
How did you get involved in working in film and animation?
I started with cartoons and after a few years I started animating and making movies.
What is one piece of advice you could give who is interested in going into film and animation?
Learn animation experimentally or academically. There are many ideas in our minds, waiting for you to turn them into films.
Why do you love animation?
Because it takes me away from reality and gives life to my dreams and reduces my fears.
What is an animated film, you highly recommend someone see?
This is hard but you should see any animation you have the chance to see, they must have something to say.
