Nicolas Ménard is a Québécois animation director, artist and designer. His clear graphic language translates to a variety of mediums, from hand drawn animation to stop-motion.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, his films have gathered honours from festivals around the world. His latest short Wednesday with Goddard won the Jury Award for Best Animated Short at SXSW 2017 and earned him a spot in the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase.
Nicolas enjoys teaching and has been a guest lecturer in schools across Europe and America, including the California Institute of the Arts, Kingston University, Goldsmiths University, and Hyper Island. In autumn 2020, he was guest teacher at the University of Quebec in Montreal, where he taught a new moving image course at the School of Design. He's also been on award juries for Anima Brussels and Motionographer.
