PES (born Adam Pesapane) is a director and animator of numerous short films and commercials. 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 iconic short films "Roof Sex", "KaBoom!", "Game Over" and "Western Spaghetti". An early influence on PES's animation style is the work of Czech surrealist Jan Švankmajer, known for his surreal animations and features, which have greatly influenced other artists such as Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam. "Clicking on a PES film is to open a safe and suddenly see a million ideas glittering and exploding", said famous film maker Michel Gondry, director of films such like "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind", "The Science of Sleep" and "Be Kind Rewind". Gondry also added that "the only reason you close that door is to re-open it just after and discover what will pop this time", and it's not casual or just some random flattering, because both of them share talent, imagination and a taste for dreamy landscapes. Adam don't think of himself as an animator, because his films are "about the objetc itself". PES is always very creative and certainly a bit trippy at times. As he states on his own website, his "twisted films" will amaze the viewer.
