Liz Adler is a Toronto based stop-motion animator and documentary filmmaker. She studied Experimental Animation at OCAD University, exploring video production, sound design and illustration along her animated practice. During her studies, she independently produced and animated on a series of promotional interviews for When Hounds Fly, a dog obedience school in Toronto. When OCAD U Live was established, she directed, story-boarded, shot, and edited a pilot for The Dorbinsons – an absurdist sitcom. This year, she worked on independent shorts and interstitials as an intern at Stop Motion Department Inc. Liz’s most recent work visualizes one of her mother’s anecdotes from a childhood in Soviet-era Moscow, in a 2-minute animated documentary.
