Rachel Moore

Rachel Moore’s animated films explore the psychological makeup of her characters using metamorphosis, transitions and sound. Her films are usually based on real locations and events. Rachel’s work uses little dialog with stories that appear deceptively simple at first, [but] she penetrates into her characters innermost emotions and their imaginary worlds. Rachel graduated from the animation program at ECUAD (Emily Carr University of Art and Design) in 2002 on scholarship. Since then, she has animated films with assistance from or for Canada Council, BC Arts Council, the National Film Board and independent filmmakers. Some highlights include: The Fastlane (winner of best student short, Victoria Film Festival 2003), Jenny’s Deli (finalist, NFB’s Shortz), Pop (best animation [honorable mention], Big Muddy Film Festival 2012) and Up in a Plane (finalist at the European Film Festival, Paris, 2015). Rachel’s films have screened at more than 40 festivals worldwide and appeared on CBC. In December 2016 she was awarded a fellowship to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts which she completed much of the animation for her current film “The House”.
