Arturo Lacal from Valencia, Alex Salu from Gijón and Jordi Jiménez from Girona are the co-directors of “Gilbert,” their joint debut film. The three met in a stop-motion animation course and from there they created the short film “Haiku,” which later inspired “Gilbert.” Individually, they have experience and training in visual arts (in addition to stop-motion) in painting, illustration, drawing, set design, post-production, editing, and graphic design. Arturo is responsible for animation, Alex for art, and Jordi for character design. “Gilbert” is the result of their passion for stop-motion and their respect for authenticity, tangibility, and originality.
